Shaped like a flying saucer, it looks more like a UFO than your next Uber. But this sci-fi style vehicle is in fact the latest in line of electric aircraft set to take to the skies over the next decade. The fully autonomous ‘Invo Moon’ offers up to three passengers a 360-degree panorama above and below as it travels at speeds of up to 250mph.

Crucially, it has been designed to be near silent, using a flight system hidden inside its shell rather than relying on noisy exposed propellers like many of its competitors. The £280,000 aircraft - which is the same size and weight of a small family car - will be able to move in any direction, similar to a handheld drone.

Inventor Leo Kayali, a former Tesla engineer, told the Daily Mail the design was inspired by the drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci over five centuries ago. The aim is to have it certified by the US aviation authority by 2027 and to launch in ‘all major cities including London’ by the end of the decade.

He said future owners could even have it running as an Uber while they weren’t using it and ‘make money while sitting at home’. UFO-like electric flying vehicle that could be your next Uber, based on Da Vinci drawings from the 1480s.
