Joby, Archer, Vertical: Meet The Airline-Backed Fleet That Could Replace Your Uber

Author: Surbhi Jain | September 09, 2025 03:37pm

The electric air taxi race is no longer science fiction — it's a boardroom strategy. Airlines are pouring money and credibility into electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) startups, betting that these sleek aircraft will shuttle travelers from airports to city centers in minutes, bypassing traffic and redefining short-haul transport.

For investors, this isn't just about futuristic tech; it's about which eVOTL-backed startup becomes the Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) of the skies.
