United and Archer to launch eVTOL air taxi service to O'Hare in 2025.
TL;DR Summary
United Airlines plans to launch an air taxi service using electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft from Archer Aviation to connect downtown Chicago and O'Hare International Airport in just 10 minutes, starting in 2025. United has ordered 200 eVTOL aircraft from Archer at a cost of $1 billion, and hopes to offer customers a more sustainable, convenient, and cost-effective mode of transportation during their commutes to the airport. If approved by the FAA, this would be the first commercial eVTOL service to begin operating in North America.
