What’s In It?
The Uber flying taxis will be jet powered flights, running on rotors which will help in vertical takeoffs and carry passengers up in the sky to avoid all the traffic woes. The electric flying taxis will be able to accommodate four passengers at a time and will fly at a height of 2,000 feet above the traffic congestions of the city at a speed of 241-321 kmph.
The flying-taxis will be hailed from the Uber app, a better way to commute to avoid the densely populated urban areas, though the bookings must be done 60 minutes in prior.
