In the 1950s, there were many helicopter airlines that began sprouting up in the United States. In two of America’s largest cities at the time, New York City and Los Angeles were home to pioneering helicopter transport companies. These airlines were transporting passengers from various places, generally airports or specific areas such as the Disneyland Amusement park in Anaheim, California.
What we had in the 1950s was a spirit of moving towards new horizons in spite of the fear of nuclear war hovering over us. We instead allowed our country to get into the staleness of consumerism and gave up on these endeavors.
This is why I am supporting companies such Archer Aviation and Joby Aviation. These vehicles, unlike the gas engines of previous endeavors will run on electricity.
It is time for new ideas while also respecting the past.
Archer and Joby represent what America can achieve.
