About the Company
Ubifly Technologies wants to make transportation clean, affordable, and more importantly, extremely fast. We are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the air by developing electric flying taxis to make urban aerial mobility a reality. In pursuit of this goal, we have developed and tested 2 different classes of drone catering to cargo and surveillance-based applications. We are currently in the throes of developing our first passenger VTOL called the e200, a compact aircraft built for urban flying and capable of traveling 30 km in less than 15 mins.
