Joby Aviation plans to integrate Blade’s helicopter and seaplane services into the Uber app by 2026. Following its acquisition of Blade's passenger business for up to $125 million, Joby aims to launch its electric air taxi service globally, targeting cities like Dubai, New York, and Los Angeles. The air-taxi sector is rapidly advancing eVTOL aircraft to meet urban transportation demands, with Joby’s electric taxi designed to be quieter and faster than traditional helicopters, accommodating four passengers and a pilot at speeds up to 200 mph.
