For years, Uber has started to develop many areas beyond traditional car service, including bicycles, scooters, public transport . and now flying taxis.
In July, Uber will begin providing helicopter transport services for the distance between New York City and John F. Kennedy International Airport on its application. After that, the company plans to launch a service to share flights on vehicles between helicopters and airplanes around the world, with speeds of more than 240km / h and running on electricity in 2023, Business Insider said.
On June 11, Uber introduced the full version of the first flying taxi at the 3rd Uber Elevate conference, held in Washington, DC (USA).
Uber Air has partnered with Bipolar Studio to build a full simulation of the first flying taxi.
Uber calls this flying taxi model "Northern Star" with a futuristic design.
The service will cost the equivalent of Uber Black - Uber's current luxury car service.
This aircraft can carry 4 passengers, not pilot.

Seats on Uber Air are like those of a luxury SUV, different from traditional helicopters.
The interior of this flying taxi is custom designed at the request of the operators, depending on how they want to serve the customer.
