Joby Aviation Begins NYC Point-to-Point eVTOL Test

Joby Aviation began a week‑long point‑to‑point eVTOL test in New York, flying from JFK to multiple city heliports.
The flights aim to link Lower Manhattan and Midtown to JFK in under 10 minutes, cutting travel time versus road congestion.
Tests are part of an FAA‑approved pilot program announced in September, marking progress toward final FAA certification.
The demonstration indicates the company moving toward commercial deployment of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
