Spectators at the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles may fly from venue to venue in a futuristic new aircraft, which takes off like a helicopter but soars on fixed wings like a plane—for the price of a high-end Uber.

LA28, the committee organizing the global spectacle, on Thursday announced that California-based Archer Aviation will serve as the Summer Games’ official air taxi provider. The manufacturer will install vertiports—electrified takeoff and landing hubs—at event sites including the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Passengers will be able to hop between locations in as little as 10 minutes, Archer said in a statement.
