air taxi

Joby flew JFK-to-Manhattan routes in seven minutes during an April 27–May 1 New York campaign, days before Wisk flew its second Gen 6 autonomous prototype.

The DOT and FAA chose eight state-led eVTOL pilot programs covering 26 states, enabling companies like Joby, Archer, and BETA Technologies to begin passenger and cargo air taxi operations as early as summer 2026.
