Uber Air has unveiled its new flying taxis ahead of the planned commercial launch in 2023.
Never-before-seen images show the slick, futuristic design of the prototypes.
The airborne vehicles are expected to ferry up to four passengers and features electric blue lighting which is switched on when in motion.
Customers will be able to order the electric air taxis through smartphone apps in the same way Uber's road-based taxi alternatives are currently hailed.
Uber's planned air fleet includes electric jet-powered vehicles - part helicopter, part drone and part fixed-wing aircraft - running multiple small rotors capable of both vertical take-off and landing and rapid horizontal flight.
The first glimpse of air taxis came as the ride-hailing firm said it would use Melbourne, Australia as its first international test site for the new service.

Uber said it will begin test flights of the pilotless aircraft in Melbourne and US cities Dallas and Los Angles in 2020 before commercial operations begin three years later.
"Australian governments have adopted a forward-looking approach to ride-sharing and future transport technology," Susan Anderson, Regional General Manager for Uber in Australia, New Zealand and North Asia, said.
"This, coupled with Melbourne's unique demographic and geospatial factors, and culture of innovation and technology, makes Melbourne the perfect third launch city for UberAir."
The test flights will transport passengers from one of seven Westfield shopping centres in Melbourne to the city's main international airport.
The 19km journey from the central business district to the airport is expected to take 10 minutes by air, compared with the 25 minutes it usually takes by car.
