Electric Air Taxis In The Big Apple: Joby Begins 1st Flights From JFK To Manhattan For 10 Days

US-based eVTOL company Joby Aviation is set to launch its first point-to-point flights in New York, marking a major step up for the futuristic concept that could fundamentally change real urban transportation. During a 10-day test campaign, the company flew its electric air taxis from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to a number of heliports across Manhattan, demonstrating how quiet, zero-emission aircraft could eventually cut the airport trip from over an hour by car to just a few minutes in the air.
