Porsche and Boeing team up for 'urban air mobility' project

Porsche caused an uproar when it diversified into crossovers and then sedans, now it's considering making an aircraft in association with Boeing. Late last week the two companies announced they will bring together a pool of engineers to develop and test a prototype electric plane. This vehicle will be able to take off and land vertically, allowing it to operate within the core of dense urban centres rather than from, usually, more distant airports.
