Instead of ordering an Uber to get around town, would you be willing to take an electric taxi plane instead? The city of Arlington hopes you will.
Arlington has announced a partnership with Overair, a developer of an all-electric vehicle takeoff and landing aircraft.
The program would allow for air transportation between North Texas airports, as well as a rideshare program that would get travelers close to places like AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field.
Alicia Winkelblech with the city of Arlington says the concept plane has a 100-mile range and can travel up to 200 mph. She says it will become a permanent fixture in the region and expects it to be ready by the 2026 World Cup.
How much will it cost to ride? Winkelblech says around the price of an Uber black.
