In April 2017, Embraer announced a preliminary agreement with Uber to explore the concept of the Uber Elevate Network ecosystem, which will allow the potential development and deployment of small electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (VTOLs) for short-haul urban commutes.
"We share the vision that the state of transportation in congested cities is ripe for innovative solutions, such as on-demand aviation. Embraer's leadership roles in commercial and business aviation were attained through the introduction of disruptive aircraft and services, and we are confident that our DNA will add value to new concepts in urban transportation as well."
