Electric air taxi demo flight in NYC

Joby Aviation has conducted the first demonstration flights of electric air taxis in New York City. The flights, part of a White House-backed pilot program, traveled from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Manhattan heliports in under 10 minutes. The event showcases the potential for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to transform urban transportation. The pilot program aims to test the integration of these vehicles into the national airspace system.
