The company showed off a full-size model of its first aircraft interior at its third Uber Elevate conference in Washington, DC, on Tuesday. Here's what the first mock interior looks like:
Uber Air has collaborated with Bipolar Studio to make a full scale mock-up of the first interiors.
The company is calling this a "North Star" model that will guide future designs that actually fly.
Eventually, the service could cost about as much as an Uber Black ride, executives said — and be just as posh.
The aircraft can hold up to four passengers, not including the pilots.

"I think we’re at a transitional time for designs like this to serve as the influential typology in aerial ride-sharing standards for generations of aircraft to come," John Battlement, Uber Air's head of design, said in a press release.
The seats look more at home in a luxury SUV than a traditional helicopter.
The interior is completely customizable for any operator, depending on how they want to best serve customers.
"While the cabin may be minimal in some ways, it’s absolutely purpose built to the mission," the team behind the design said, adding that safety was paramount for every feature.
There's space for luggage in addition to passengers.
