Uber Unveils Personal Airplane Design, Plans Tests in 2020

The planes are based on an existing design for the U.S. Department of Defense’s X-plane program. Made by Aurora Flight Sciences, the first plane successfully completed a flight test on April 20, and Uber hopes to have 50 of them by 2020 to test its Elevate network of on-demand planes.

“The Elevate VTOL network will help improve urban mobility around the world and transform the way we travel,” Mark Moore, Uber’s Director of Engineering, said in a statement.
