The Growth of Air Taxis: Changing City Travel with eVTOL Technology.
Reading
JoeBen Bevirt dreamt of flying cars as a child, wanting faster travel. Now, as CEO of Joby Aviation, he is making that dream a reality.
Joby and other companies are developing electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs). These aircraft offer quiet, fast travel over short distances.
Companies are testing eVTOLs and working with airlines to create air taxi services. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration even created a new aircraft category for them.
While Dubai may see commercial flights first, the goal is to have air taxis in U.S. cities soon. These services could revolutionize transportation, offering quick trips above traffic.
Despite billions in investment and promising partnerships, the road to profitability is long. Still, companies and investors remain optimistic about the future of flying cars.
