In recent events, the renowned company Uber presented to the public one of its most innovative projects, the flying taxi.

The prototype of the vehicle, which plans to be quieter, more efficient and less expensive than a helicopter, could carry passengers through the air in five years, according to company spokesmen.

The model has an electric vertical takeoff device with a hybrid design between the flying car and a mini helicopter. The ship will be fully electric and can fly from 240 to 320 km/h with a range of 96 km.

They are expected to fly over the near future, at least by the year 2020, when their first official demonstration will take place. Meanwhile, the company expects its commercial phase to arrive three years later.
