Wheels Up, Bell Collaborate on First Step Toward UAM
The companies are working together to usher in what they claim will be the first step toward urban air mobility (UAM) operations.
Wheels Up and Bell are collaborating to bring urban air mobility (UAM) operations to fruition. Under the partnership, Wheels Up would likely use Bell 429 helicopters in the short term and the Nexus eVTOL (pictured) in the longer term to provide intra-city VTOL lift using existing helipads and airports. Service is expected to start in 2021. (Photo: Chad Trautvetter/AIN)
