Electric aircraft maker Joby Aviation successfully performed its first demonstration flight in New York City on Nov. 12, marking the first ever electric air taxi flight in the city, the company announced.

The Santa Cruz, California-headquartered company flew its four-passenger electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi, piloted by James “Buddy” Denham from Downtown Heliport (KJRB) in Manhattan to the skies above New York City, Joby Aviation said in a press release.
