"NYC's Skyline Set to Soar with Flying Taxis by 2025"

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced a $500 million investment in a production facility for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, bringing flying taxis closer to reality. Joby Aviation, one of the companies racing to bring these vehicles to market, has accepted $325 million in government incentives to open the plant and expects to offer ride-sharing services as early as 2025. The relatively quiet and high-tech eVTOLs can accommodate four passengers and a pilot, and have already logged 30,000 hours of testing. Joby has partnered with major transportation and tech companies, including Toyota, Delta Air Lines, and Intel. The selected site in Ohio is close to the Air Force Research Laboratory, and Joby plans to manufacture up to 500 eVTOLs per year.
