United Airlines has announced a $15 million investment in electric aviation startup Eve Air Mobility and will purchase 200 electric aircrafts which can seat four passengers and take off and land vertically like a helicopter.
This marks another significant investment from United in flying taxis — or eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle) — that have the potential to revolutionise the commuter experience in cities around the world.
United signed purchase agreement for up to 400 eVTOL aircraft from Eve, owned by Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer.
