Electric air taxis are finally ready for takeoff

Electric air taxis, developed by companies like Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation, are advancing through real-world pilot projects in the U.S., aiming to offer short, low-noise flights for passengers and cargo. These eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft) could revolutionize urban transportation by bypassing traffic and geographic barriers, with non-commercial passenger tests expected this year and commercial operations potentially starting in 2028.
