Uber is the company that serves transportation like taxi-based application on your smartphone. Uber company has released a model of a flying taxi. Uber made a cooperation system with NASA and US army research & development command.

<<uber's flying="" taxi="" design<br=""> The flying taxi looks like a big drone. Uber said it is designed for safe transition between vertical and forward flight, which is achieved through stacked co-rotating propellers. Because this stacked co-rotating rotors or propellers have two rotor systems placed on top of each other rotating in the same direction, it is more efficient and safer than the usual helicopter. Moreover, it uses 100% electronic power. It will take off and land perpendicular to the ground facilities and fly at a maximum speed of 320 km/h over 1,000 to 2,000 feet (300 to 600 meters).
Uber believes that they can be ready to start providing services to ordinary people. This means they can make actual model until 2020 and start testing. For Uber to do this, it is necessary to find a model area and get an agreement. Uber chose Dallas and San Francisco for the first test operation area. They said they will develop propeller noise reduction technology, and start simulation called ‘Downtown Flight Vehicle’ which include drones.
Not only Uber but also many other companies are starting to develop flying taxis. This competition will get harder. For example, the company called Kitty Hawk exposed a flying model called ‘Cora’. We will be able to see the future which we have wondered so much.
