United Airlines vows to buy flying electric taxis to shuttle people to airports


Cowen analyst Helane Becker said United could use Archer’s aircraft between New York City and Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey, or from downtown Chicago to O’Hare Airport, allowing customers to avoid traffic.
Chicago-headquartered United portrayed the move as part of a broader plan to invest in technology behind cleaner modes of air travel. Chief executive Scott Kirby said Archer’s design “has the clear potential to change how people commute within major metropolitan cities all over the world".
Many airlines including United have made investments in biofuel, but limited supplies are likely to hinder wider use of such alternatives to jet fuel for many years.
