Uber’s first aircraft: See inside the electric passenger drone
WASHINGTON, DC — Uber has looked beyond car rides for years, through bikes, scooters, public transit, and more.

After that, it hopes to launch shared electric flights on hybrid airplane-helicopter aircraft in cities around the world and at speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, all with no emissions.
