Don’t confuse this with George Jetson’s flying car. These are primarily for flying from helipad to helipad. Getting the bigwigs to meetings during the day and perhaps from/to a suburban airport or landing pad for commute, with the last mile issue addressed with a standard car.

There are inherently many constraints in this type of market. Building owners are going to charge for access to their helipads. The fare is going to compare closer to hiring a helicopter than hiring an SUV rideshare. The approximate 50% duty cycle means roughly doubling the fleet size to eliminate gaps in availability. And finally, Aviation Authorities will limit the number of craft simultaneously operating in a given airspace.
