UberAir announces 5 countries that could host its flying taxi service

First, there was Dallas and Los Angeles. Now Uber wants a third city to fly its air taxi service, and it's looking internationally.

In what feels like Amazon's search for a second headquarters location, Uber this week announced its shortlist for countries the ride-hailing app would work with to launch its aviation project UberAir, a flight-sharing network with electric vertical take-off and landing (e-VTOLs) aircraft. The planes are expected to cruise at about 150 mph and reach about 2,000 feet. The electric planes will go 60 miles on a charge.
