The Dhaka Times Desk We often see in movies a small vehicle moving in the city sky. That is, the taxi is flying. But what have we ever thought of seeing in reality? But this time it will be so. This time flying taxi will run in the sky!
A German company is taking the initiative to quickly turn that dream into reality. Pollution-free and almost noiseless, this vehicle could turn heads during the Paris Olympics. Now the taxi will run in the sky.
According to a report by Deutsche Welle, this new vehicle has been named 'Velocity'. It is also known as Air Taxi. When it takes off or flies past, almost nothing is heard. Its 8 electric propellers make no sound. Again no smoke comes out like a helicopter or an airplane. The test flight of the Volocopter in the city of Bruchsal in the south of Germany also left a mark on the minds of the audience.
According to the report, Volocopter company leader Dirk Hoke is also planning to produce 'Velocity' on a large scale in this newly inaugurated hangar. His target is to produce 50 units a year for now. He has set a target of launching a regular air taxi service in Paris before the Olympic Games begin in the middle of next year. Pilots will regularly fly passengers for a fee.
Dirk Hoek's dream is to bring zero-emissions flying within everyone's reach. He thinks, 'The price of the plane is very high. But starting mass production of series will balance the cost. Then we can produce the aircraft at a very fair price. We have a factory, with which we can manufacture 50 aircraft a year. And then the price of the ticket will come within everyone's reach.'
Also, in terms of safety, the 'Velocity' has been approved according to the same norms as conventional civil aircraft. In other words, there is a risk of one major accident in every one hundred million flight hours.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
