Jet Cab Company
The Jet Cab CompanyUber today unveiled its latest UberAir product - a generically engineered product that can be used by manufacturers as a base for airplanes that are qualified to operate on the UberAir family. It was unveiled this past month at Ubers Elevate Summit in Los Angeles, where it announced partnership, and partner companies are announcing their advances toward the ultimate goal of creating a truly airborne world.
As it is known, the RCRM is not as sexual as the prototype Uber rival aircraft, such as Airbus Vahana's tilt-wing aircraft or Lilium's tiltable "electric jets". About says that his first objectives are for the security and comforts of passengers, such as wing protection to protect drivers from rains when boarding or leaving the aircraft.
Uber eCRM virtually is two ships in one: a VTOL chopper and an aircraft for energy-efficient flight between points A and A ( not least for a battery-powered vehicle). From ( and turns to ) the ship lifts off small "vertiports", such as municipal roofs, like a heliport.
Instead of a huge, noisy wheel, however, it has four smaller wheel groups installed high up on the blades. Every kit is made up of two piled rotating units that rotate in the same directions. Silent ships are the number one priority for a company that wants to perform thousand of trips per night without annoying a national.
When the ship climbs (1,000 to 2,000 feet), a highly stern mount prop leads and pushes the vessel forward so that the blades generate buoyancy when the helicopter-like rotor switches off. Whereas the ship needs four rotor blades in chopper flight modus, only one is required to fly at a rate of 150 to 200 mph.
Above demands that all boats in the net can cover at least 60 mile per cargo and receive at least one reasonable fractional load in five mins. "No partner we welcome who doesn't go for a fix winged approach, so you'll have the unbelievable efficiencies of a glider in forward flying compared to trying to create buoyancy with a propeller or rotor," says Mark Moore, Uber's technical manager for avionics.
If you keep all your rotor and propeller so high on the ship, neither the four passenger (each of whom pays at least $80) nor the pilots run the risk of being disassembled. Über Referenzdesign is not carved in rock. UberAir's benchmark designs give a good impression of the company's objectives for UberAir: safety, comfort and efficiency.
