Uber is more than fly-curious about taking ridesharing to the air. The company announced Tuesday that it plans to roll out a network of flying cars in Dallas-Fort Worth and, of course, Dubai by 2020.

If that sounds ambitious, you possess a basic understanding of the challenges involved here. The kind of aircraft Uber envisions shuttling customers through the air–electric, with vertical takeoff and landing capability, and capable of flying 100 miles in just 40 minutes–don’t exist yet. Nor does the infrastructure to support them.
