Opinion: NY Helicopter Ban Will Put America Even Further Behind
The number of calls to NYC’s 311 complaint line went from 1,000 a year to 26,000 last year … and the auto industry stands poised to continue to benefit.

Keep your eyes on the ball because electric aviation has taken off with such a steep angle of attack (AoA) that it makes the electric car world look like a snail race.
A series of startups and established aviation giants are joining the Dassault Systèmes’ (DS) 3DEXPERIENCE platform family to support their digital engineering initiatives. Adding to the Airbus, Boeing, Bell, Lockheed Martin, and BOOM Supersonic family, electric air mobility pioneer Eviation Aircraft is also coming on board. A few more aviation startups are also using the Dassault platform, such as Joby Aviation and Solar Impulse. Stay tuned, as we will soon reveal even more startups who will use Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE.
A little while back, the Vertical Flight Society announced a partnership with Nexa Advisors to determine urban air mobility (UAM) investments by 2020. The report shows that industry revenue is projected to top $318 billion by then.
With 1 billion flights predicted for air taxis by 2030, Bosch is getting into the electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) business with a sensor box for autonomy.
How many se the rise of electric vertical take-off & landing (eVTOL) aircraft leading the urban air mobility (UAM) of tomorrow? How many see the potential of this new technology?
The future of our urban air mobility means better management and coordination of air traffic. The Airbus Altiscope Blueprint takes a deep dive into how eVTOL aircraft, electric helicopters, electric airplanes, and new personal air mobility platforms will share our airspace.
The electrification of mobility has hit every industry to some degree or another, with some barely catching on but now doing so. The helicopter industry has been slow to adopt electricity, but the Californian consulting company Tier 1 Engineering is up to the challenge.
Intellectual property wars are nothing new in the electric vehicle (EV) world or even more broadly. Now such a war may be creeping into the electric air mobility industry as it scrambles to design, innovate, and protect its pioneering work. Get ready for a wave of patents that will make your head spin.
There is something going on at Workhorse, and its latest press release hints at what the company is trying to do. After the announcement of its newest electric vehicle (EV) van, it is now announcing that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has given it a green light to fly its electric helicopter, the SureFly Electric Hybrid Helicopter.
