These are the companies helping Uber build its futuristic flying taxi
Uber wants to take its ride-hailing service to the skies.At an event in Dallas on Tuesday, Uber announced the partners that will help launch its Uber Elevate flying taxi service in 2020. Uber will rely on 5 partners to build the electric aircraft while the company develops Uber Air, an in-app feature that will allow consumers to request flights.
Uber's entrance into the flying taxi space occurs in the midst of a tumultuous year. The company has been accused of using location-tracking software to keep tabs on regulatory bodies, promoting a sexist work environment, and stealing self-driving technology from Google.
But as Uber fights the Google lawsuit and looks to revamp its image with the addition of a new COO and internal investigation, the company is full-speed ahead on Uber Elevate, which has an interesting mix of partners. Uber ultimately wants to build an electric Vertical Take-Off Landing (VTOL) aircraft that, like the name suggests, doesn’t need a runway to take off.
Here are the companies helping Uber make its flying taxi vision a reality:
*SEE ALSO: Uber just unveiled its ambitious flying taxi plan — but it will have a lot of competition*
-Mooney International: The Texas-based aircraft manufacturer was started back in 1929, but has gone bankrupt and changed ownership many times. It's now owned by Chinese company Henan Meijing Group, a real estate developer.-
Mooney stopped manufacturing planes in 2008 during the economic downturn. After going five years without selling a plane, Henan Meijing Group bought the company in 2013 for about $100 million, according to a 2013 Shanghai Daily report. Mooney is the manufacturer of single-engine, piston-powered aircrafts.
Mooney CEO Vivek Saxena stepped down on Monday, one day before the Uber Elevate announcement, according to a report by the AOPA, a non-profit political organization for American aviation companies. Saxena was at the company for about a year.
A Mooney representative did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment.-Aurora Flight Sciences: The Virginia-based company was born out of MIT’s Daedalus project, a human-powered aircraft that holds a world record for a flight time of 3 hours and 54 minutes.-
The aviation and aeronautics research company is investing in autonomous flight research through its AACUS program. That program is working on an autonomous helicopter that could deliver supplies to marines on the ground.
Aurora revealed its flying taxi concept for Uber on Tuesday, which is based on the X-Plane it’s designing for the US Department of Defense. The X-Plane, funded by DARPA, is a hybrid VTOL that hovers using 24 ducted fans.-Embraer: The Brazilian private jet manufacturer has been making moves to compete with powerhouses like Airbus and Boeing.-
Embraer said in a security filing that it will work on the Uber project through its Embraer Business Innovation Center, an initiative formed in early March.
The Center has offices in Silicon Valley and Boston with the objective of exploring "business opportunities in the future of air transportation, with the collaboration of startups, investors, academia, and corporations."
"We share the vision that the state of transportation in congested cities is ripe for innovative solutions, such as on-demand aviation," Antonio Campello, Vice President for Corporate Innovation, wrote in the security filing.
"Embraer’s leadership roles in commercial and business aviation were attained through the introduction of disruptive aircraft and services, and we are confident that our DNA will add value to new concepts in urban transportation as well," he continued.

‘Bachelor’ Crash Victim Was a Vietnam Veteran, Father of 2
More details on the Kenneth Mosher, the victim of the deadly crash involving former “Bachelor” Chris Soules, emerged on Wednesday.
According to his obituary on The Courier, the 66-year-old was a married father of two from Aurora, Iowa, who also had three grandchildren.

Institute for Behavioral Training and Center for Autism and Related Disorders Expand First-Responder Training Program
Presentation of Autism for First Responders continues in various cities to close out Autism Awareness Month.
Woodland Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2017
Institute for Behavioral Training (IBT) and Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) have announced the expansion of their joint training session, Autism for First Responders, across the United States. The free presentation is being made available in various cities and regions through the end of April, which coincides with Autism Awareness Month. IBT has trained over 25,000 people across the US and other countries since 2013. CARD is celebrating its 27th anniversary this year and has successfully treated thousands of individuals with autism since 1990.
According to the Centers for Disease Control’s announcement on March 27, 2014, autism impacts 1 in 68 children. One in 47 boys has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As more children, teens, and adults are impacted by ASD, police and other first responders will have interactions with this population.
Individuals with autism may struggle to communicate, make appropriate eye contact, or even respond to someone asking them their name. The behaviors that individuals with ASD display vary greatly which is why autism is described as a spectrum disorder. However, parents and professionals agree that safety is a significant concern for the autism community as individuals with ASD may easily be distracted, lost, or even elope from their school or surroundings. Autism for First Responders teaches police and first responders to recognize the signs of ASD and react accordingly to minimize their own risk and that of the individuals with autism.
“The reception to our first round of Autism for First Responders presentations was beyond our expectations,” says Cecilia H. Knight, director of IBT. “We are extremely happy to spread awareness to even more first responders nationwide, with the hope that, armed with this knowledge, they can be best equipped to interact effectively with people affected by autism and save even more lives.”
The second round of Autism for First Responders sessions will take place in Manhattan, NY; Paramus, NJ; Manassas, VA; Sterling, VA; Denham Springs, LA; Prairieville, LA; San Antonio, TX; Aurora, CO; Phoenix, AZ; Scottsdale, AZ; Vancouver, WA; Portland, OR; Sacramento, CA; Fresno, CA; Madera, CA; Carlsbad, CA; Clovis, CA; Thousand Oaks, CA; Woodland Hills, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Torrance, CA; Moreno Valley, CA; Irvine, CA; and San Diego, CA. IBT’s training teaches the signs and symptoms of ASD, how to communicate with individuals who appear to have ASD, and tips for first responders interacting with individuals on the spectrum.
About the Institute for Behavioral Training
IBT is considered the one-stop training hub for individuals at all levels who interact with, teach, care for, and treat individuals with ASD and other developmental disorders. IBT’s programs educate students, parents, professionals, and caregivers on evidence-based techniques using applied behavior analysis (ABA), so they can maximize progress when working with any individual.
About the Center for Autism and Related Disorders
CARD treats individuals of all ages who are diagnosed with ASD at over 100 treatment centers and academies around the globe. CARD was founded in 1990 by leading autism expert and clinical psychologist Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D. CARD treats individuals with ASD using the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), which is empirically proven to be the most effective method for treating individuals with ASD and recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Surgeon General.
