Up, up and away!

An “air taxi” company operating completely electric helicopters completed its first test flight Monday between JFK Airport and Midtown — hoping to pave the way for a “Jetsons”-like future for New Yorkers.

The drone-like Joby Aviation aircraft made the voyage from the Queens airport to Manhattan in roughly 15 minutes, landing quietly at a Hudson Yards heliport run by subsidiary Blade, a company that currently offers gas-powered helicopter commuter flights.
