Uber is aiming to make its 'flying taxis' available in the next 10 years, which will pick up and drop off passengers at 'Skyports'

BOKA Powell's wedge-shaped concept accommodates 2,000 take-offs and landings per hour and allows vehicles to move in reverse to accommodate for wind changes.

Humphrey's & Partners' Mega Skyport is inspired by beehives, according to the firm. Screens positioned on the exterior are supposed to help it blend in with the surrounding area.

Gannet Fleming designed a "modular and highly flexible" structure that can support all forms of urban transportation.

Corgan's vision for a Skyport, "CONNECT," is broken up into three parts: the highway that runs underneath, the station that goes through the middle, and a flight deck at the top with a bridge running just underneath.

The Beck Group designed "The Hive," a slightly elevated landing and take-off deck that resembles a beehive.

Pickard Chilton and ARUP firms teamed up to design the "Sky Tower" — a Skyport with multiple layers of landing space for flying taxis.
