Joby Aviation Unveils Electric Helicopter Service to JFK

The innovative air taxi aims to cut travel time from Manhattan to JFK Airport to seven minutes, pending FAA approval.

Joby Aviation showcased its electric helicopter prototype at Grand Central Terminal, promising a quick and quiet ride to JFK Airport.
The service, supported by major stakeholders like Toyota, Uber, and Delta Airlines, is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing transportation apps.
Joby's aircraft, featuring six electric motors and a top speed of 200 mph, claims to offer a quieter alternative to traditional helicopters.
The company is working with the FAA for commercial certification, with plans to launch in New York City and Los Angeles after approval.
Pricing is expected to be comparable to Uber Black services, with future ambitions to lower costs closer to UberX rates.
