The brand new “helicopters” bringing Recent York City’s superrich to the Hamptons and beyond are almost completely silent, all-electric and look straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster.

Blade Air Mobility, known for transporting elite Recent Yorkers via helicopter, tested its recent eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft on the Westchester County Airport Tuesday as a part of the corporate’s pledge to go green — quietly.

The futuristic recent aircraft — commonly known as an EVA, or electric vertical aircraft — appear like a hybrid of a small plane and helicopter, with rotator blades on the aircraft’s wings.

Manufactured by Vermont-based electric aerospace company BETA Technologies, the choppers will likely be welcomed by Big Apple residents, who’ve repeatedly complained about helicopter noise disrupting their every day life, and even Shakespeare within the Park. 

The noise was such an issue that Rep. Jerrold Nadler even begged the Federal Aviation Administration to divert helicopter traffic from Central Park.

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is thought to enjoy a helicopter ride herself, vetoed a bipartisan bill that passed by a large margin to ban tourist helicopters from Hudson River Park, saying it was a federal responsibility to control airspace.

While Blade is one in every of several corporations contributing to NYC’s helicopter noise, it hopes its transition to quiet, electric aircraft will encourage others to do adopt similar aircraft. 

The flight is a “historic moment” for aviation in town, Blade CEO Rob Wiesenthal told The Post.

“The demonstration represents a key first step in our transition from helicopters to recent quiet and emission-free aircraft,” he said.

The successful flight Tuesday was the primary time a piloted electric vertical aircraft was tested within the tri-state area.

RedBird Capital, the firm founded by Goldman Sachs alum Gerry Cardinale, has acquired a 5% stake in private helicopter company Blade, it was revealed in January.

The corporate can be one in every of the biggest air medical transporters of human organs on the planet.
