Urban air mobility (UAM) is a mode of transportation that avoids traffic congestion by flying people and cargo above it at low altitudes. It may sound like science fiction or something from the cartoon “The Jetsons,” which depicted people going from place to place in flying cars. However, that concept is set to become a reality as electric flying taxis could begin operating in the U.S. as soon as 2025.
