Mark Moore has left his position as an advanced aircraft engineer at NASA's Langley Research Center to join Uber's flying-car project, dubbed Uber Elevate, Bloomberg first reported Monday.
Uber isn't pursuing a flying car, per se, because it isn't being designed to fly and drive. Instead, Uber, like many other companies, is looking to build an electric, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft for shorter urban commutes. Moore published a white paper outlining how electric VTOLs could work in 2010.
