Hyundai’s Air-One may be where future air taxis land, including United Airlines’ new order of 200 four-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft from Eve Air Mobility. This eVTOL boasts a conventional fixed wings with rotors and pushers, which gives it an intuitive lift-plus-cruise design for safety, efficiency, as well as reliability.
When fully charged, the eVTOL has a range of 60-miles, ensuring not only a sustainable commute, but also a quiet one that cuts noise levels by 90% compared to current conventional aircraft. The company is also creating a new air traffic management solution designed for the urban air mobility (UAM) industry to scale safely. The initial order includes an option for 200 additional aircraft and deliveries are expected to begin as early as 2026.

United has made early investments in several cutting-edge technologies at all levels of the supply chain, staking out our position as a leader in aviation sustainability and innovation. Today, United is making history again, by becoming the first major airline to publicly invest in two eVTOL companies. Our agreement with Eve highlights our confidence in the urban air mobility market and serves as another important benchmark toward our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Michael Leskinen, President of United Airlines Ventures.
