Is it me or does 130 euros for 35km in an electric helicopter sound like amazing value? I mean, I'm a train / bus person whenever possible, and I see that the skies clogged with volcopters would be unpleasant, but I've paid nearly that for a ground taxi.
Also while I doubt electric air taxis are a good idea for mass transit in cities, there are clearly long-term benefits to supporting the early development of electrified aviation.
