"...the flight marked the first test of a piloted Beta Technologies ALIA-250 eVTOL in the greater New York area and is 'an important step' in Blade Air Mobility's plans to introduce eVTOLs into their fleets serving New York City and other short-distance routes.
"In April 2021, Blade agreed to arrange for operators in its network to buy up to 20 of the first ALIA-250 aircraft configured for passenger service. Beta has agreed to provide and install charging infrastructure at certain locations."
