Unfortunately it requires me to get on something that is kept aloft by an extremely complex collection of moving parts that twist, wibble and vibrate. And doesn't glide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9c4I3nRIFA (Explained by the same guy who explains the differential in that old instructional video)
Are there any security risks? Aside from air safety risks? I just wonder if body scanning/x-ray/metal detector is required for this sort of thing.
Slightly cheaper than cab fare+tip from Manhattan to Newark, but ~40 mins faster. Then again you still have to get through financial district to the helipad... Still not as good as having a private helicopter. I hear NYC to PHL is 30 mins by heli.

Doubtful, unless you're in some kind of military helicopter. NYC to PHL is close to 100 miles, no helicopters go 200 miles per hour.

UberX from Manhattan to Newark is $65 flat fare, no tip required.
Typo here, just FYI

"And doesn't glide" -- as opposed to, say, autorotation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorotation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2a9H8Xw8Mo
