Of all of the visions of the future that have been rolled out over the years, perhaps none have had as persistent a hold on the imagination as flying cars (well… maybe jetpacks… But flying cars are right up there). As these technologies move from the realms of the plausible to the probable, they’re finding a launching pad in the Israeli startup scene. At our upcoming conference in Tel Aviv you’ll hear from two of the designers of our grand flying future. Rafi Yoeli, founder and chief executive of Urban Aerospace Joining us to discuss the promise and perils of the aerial alternative for passenger technologies are Omer Bar-Yohay, the co-founder and chief executive of the electric aircraft manufacturer Eviation, and Rafi Yoeli, whose Urban Aeronautics business is trying to make flying vehicles a viable alternative to taking the bus. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Yoeli is one of the founding fathers of the unmanned aerial vehicle industry.
