Frisco, TX Builds Helipad For Uber Elevate

Hopes To Be One Of The First Locations For Testing The UAM Service

City officials in Frisco, TX say that a recently-completed heliport along the North Dallas Tollway will potentially be the first test site for Uber Elevate, an Urban Air Mobility plan being developed by the company.

Television station WFAA reports that Frisco Mayor Jeff Cheney said "Frisco is going to be the first location in the world to test this technology.

The city's long-term master plan calls for the heliport to be among the first permanent locations for Uber Elevate when it opens to the public, according to Cheney.

Travel time between the heliport and DFW airport would be about seven minutes, he said.

Travis Considine, the communications manager for Uber in Texas. said the region represents a "big canvas to develop, test and refine our advanced mobility technologies to create next-generation transportation options for the growing population of Dallas-Fort Worth.”

Uber anticipates that Flight testing for Uber Elevate aircraft will begin in 2020, with the service commercially available in 2023.
