Orlando just unveiled plans for the first US flying taxi airport. Passengers will be able to book the vehicles via an app and zoom over the highway at 186 mph — take a look.

Lilium and Lake Nona

• Plans for the first US high-speed flying-taxi network were unveiled Wednesday.
• The proposed "Lake Nona Vertiport" in Orlando will let passengers skip Florida's highways and travel in one of German manufacturer Lilium's 186 mph jets.
• Passengers will be able to book the electric-powered jets, which are still in development, via an app, similar to Uber and Lyft.
• The City Council granted Lilium a tax break of more than $800,000 over nine years, and the whole project will cost $25 million, according to the Orlando Business Journal.

The City of Orlando unveiled plans Wednesday to build the US's first flying-taxi hub.

German aviation company Lilium, which makes the taxis, property firm Tavistock Development Company, and the city are together developing a network that will enable passengers to bypass — or rather, pass over — Florida's highways.

The 56,000-square-foot "vertiport" at Lake Nona resembles an airport terminal and the Orlando Business Journal reports it will cost $25 million.

Munich-based Lilium said its vertical-takeoff craft, which are still under development, will travel up to 186 miles (300km) in one hour on a single charge. They can carry four passengers.
