At the end of April this year, Joby Aviation made a series of test flights around heliports in New York City. These flights were part of their certification process with the FAA and included just a test pilot, with no passengers. In the race to be the first AAM aircraft to hit the market, another important player, Electra Aero, announced last week that it had made a demo flight in Charleston, South Carolina, in front of a large audience. Are these two events related, or do they just seem to be?
