Episode overview
Within 20 years vertical take-off airliners could be hovering over Hampstead and Dulwich before landing, one a minute, day and night, at a Thames-side V-port. Horizon looks at what could be one of the great environmental debates of the century to have, or not to have, aircraft flying in and out of city centres.
