A developer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxis will give attendees of one of the world’s premier business aviation events a glimpse of the future.

From October 14-16, thousands will gather at the National Business Aviation Association’s annual Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas—including eVTOL manufacturer Joby Aviation. Attendees won’t be able to hail Joby’s electric air taxi just yet, though it will be on display. Instead, the company will offer scheduled helicopter flights through its newly acquired Blade Urban Air Mobility service.
