UBERAIR: Our Vision | Uber Elevate | Uber-YouTube


Humanity has built high-rise buildings one after another and expanded urban space in three dimensions.



As a result, it is important to consider not only the earth as a moving space, but also the 'sky' as a moving space.



Uber Air's vertical take-off system is an essential feature for moving urban skies.



Uber believes that people have the option of moving through the sky, which alleviates traffic congestion and improves urban accessibility.



Of course Uber Air can take off and land only in limited places ...



It is planned to be combined with taxis and ride sharing services traveling on the ground.



Of course, Uber Elevate can not be realized with the power of Uber or an aircraft development company. In addition to real estate owners and urban residents ...



Uber said it would be necessary to work with local authorities, national regulators, etc.



Uber is collaborating with

Safran Cabin , an interior design company, for in-vehicle design.
