✈️ The Jetsons and surge pricing
June 14, 2026
Flying taxis are back, because apparently, traffic has people asking for a sky lane.
Beta Technologies’ Alia 250 is an electric air taxi built to lift off vertically, then cruise like a plane. It has five motors, five battery packs, room for a pilot and five passengers and a roughly 290-mile range.
@innomoto via YouTubeOne hour of flying uses about $28 in electricity. Airports could run quieter and cheaper than helicopters. Why white-knuckle it in rush hour when you can white-knuckle it in a flying toaster?
