Having completed more than 1,000 remotely piloted flight tests with its eVTOL prototypes over the past 10 years, Joby Aviation has successfully flown its electric air taxi with pilots on board for the first time.
Joby Aviation has delivered an air taxi to the Edwards Air Force Base in California about six months ahead of schedule, marking the first-ever delivery of an eVTOL aircraft to a paying customer in the U.S.
Joby Aviation will build its first large-scale production facility at Dayton International Airport, where it intends to manufacture up to 500 eVTOL aircraft per year.
California-based eVTOL aircraft developer Joby Aviation says it has finished submitting all the certification plans for its four-passenger air taxi to the FAA.
