Joby Aviation
Joby seems poised to dominate the early stages of the eVTOL market, with an excellent aircraft and strong positions in manufacturing, certification, customer service, finance and now ground-based infrastructure
Joby Aviation
Joby's eVTOL, like others in the class, burns a lot of battery power in hover mode, and can only realize its impressive range figures once in horizontal flight supported by wings
Joby Aviation
Test flights have been unmanned thus far
Joby Aviation
Joby has completed more than a thousand test flights around its idyllic location in the Santa Cruz hills
