Uber Elevate - An On-Demand Air Transportation From Uber

Uber Elevate concept with VTOL(Vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft will bring changes in local transport industry by quicker daily commutes, less traffic congestion, and cleaner air around the world. Uber Elevate has already started exploring the barriers and are working to  make this a reality

A network of small, electric aircraft that take off and land vertically , will enable rapid, reliable transportation between suburbs and cities and, ultimately, within cities.The development of infrastructure to support an urban VTOL network will likely have significant cost advantages over heavy-infrastructure approaches such as roads, rail, bridges and tunnels.

This concept will be proposed that the repurposed tops of parking garages, existing helipads, and even unused land surrounding highway interchanges could form the basis of an extensive, distributed network of “vertiports”. VTOLs, by contrast, can travel toward their destination independently of any specific path, making route-based congestion less prevalent.

Recently, technology advances have made it practical to build this new class of VTOL aircraft. Over a dozen companies, with as many different design approaches, are passionately working to make VTOLs a reality. These VTOL designs will also be markedly safer than today’s helicopters because VTOLs will not need to be dependent on any single part to stay airborne and will ultimately use autonomy technology to significantly reduce operator error.

We expect that the amount of time and money saved increases with the trip length, Uber will make it happen within 2020 to launch it in air. The booking process seems to be same as other ondemand riding concepts. With Uber rider app, the commute can book their ride and can start their trip instantly.
