What is it like to be at the controls of the next great leap in aviation? Test pilots from BETA Technologies, Joby Aviation and Wisk describe how flying electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft differs from conventional aircraft.

- Peter Wilson, Joby Aviation’s director of flight standards and training
