One of the most serious players in the game Air Taxi, ArcherJust released routes for potential service in New York. His Midnight plane Passengers from Manhattan to Manhattan to the Ailet of Laguartia and Newark in five -15 minutes, potentially Breya an hour or more from a typical driving time. Nevertheless, Archer did not provide any dates to start the service, and all this can be disrupted by regulatory authorities, especially the federal aviation administration (FAA).
Any news about air taxis should come to a warning that such services do not work yet, even if the startups have tried for ten years or moreThe field, taking into account the above, Archer cooperates with a number of well -established aviation and other companies, including Fiat Chrysler and United Airlines, along with fixed basic operators (FBO), as a signature of aviation and Atlantic aviation. Archer also previously announced the proposed aviation networks in the san -Francisco, Los -angles and ChicagoField
The Archer's plan is that you boil taxi tickets as a “addition” to traditional flights. You would have launched from the existing Manhattan institutions, namely on the eastern 34th Vertolte Street, in the center of Skypor and on the western 30th street. From there you can fly to Vertipors in JFK, Laguardia and Newark Airpots, as well as about places in other regional airports. Flights will be on board the aircraft with four passengers accumulated by a person, with 12 nights with 12 rotors, six batteries and a range of 20-50 miles.
Archer has a “united airline”, “Porta -Yorka Porta Office” and “Corporation of the Economic Development of New York” (NyCEDC). However, he did not provide important details, such as the number of potential flights per day, working hours or more. This information would be vital for FAA, which should decide whether the service is safe for passengers, other aircraft and people on Earth.
This is an enterprise that may require a lot of time and costs, and the VTOL Archer plane still has not received certification of the FAA type necessary for any operations. The company has received the last criteria for flight fitness FA Joby AviationThe field of the only Air Taxi company, which received a certification of the type from the aviation regulator, is Ehang from the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration (CAAC).
