THE eVTOL INDUSTRYThe UN estimates that 70%-80% of the world’s population will be urbanized by 2050. This offers new challenges and exciting opportunities for efficient and sustainable mobility solutions.
Current projections by 2035
With fully established infrastructure eVTOL could achieve a total
addressable market of $230 billion with 200K+ operational units.

Uber Elevate is the all-encompassing term for Uber’s initiative to launch uberAIR, - the eVTOL aerial ride-hailing service, as well as any
other initiatives – such as food delivery - that may benefit from air transportation.
Dallas and Los Angeles and Paris
have been announced as the first
three launch cities to offer uberAIR
flights.
Uber’s goal is to start operating
demonstrator flights in 2020 and
beginning commercial operations in
2023.
Astro intends to enter production with its first mass-market model in
Q4 2018.
