This one, yes. But there are many "urban transport" VTOL electric aircraft in development. The idea is to combine the utility of a helicopter with the efficiency of a fixed-wing, while adding the environmental, reliability, and O&M cost benefits of electric.
I believe that, in the coming years and decades, electric VTOL aircraft will replace traditional helicopters for many applications.
