Joby Aviation completed the first point-to-point eVTOL demonstration flights in New York City history, flying from JFK to Midtown Manhattan heliports in seven minutes. The company, backed by Toyota, Delta, and Uber, cleared Stage 4 of the FAA's five-stage type certification process and is expected to receive a type certificate by late 2026. Despite this, the economics of $200 per-seat air taxi trips at scale remain unproven. The Joby S4, a tiltrotor with six electric motors, gives it vertical lift of a helicopter and forward flight efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft. The aircraft's noise profile is 100 times quieter than a conventional helicopter at the same distance. Joby plans to offer an integrated travel experience through partnerships with Delta Air Lines and Uber.
