Joby Aviation

In January, we delivered our second aircraft to DoD customers at Edwards Air Force Base. This historic lakebed is where Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1, and where the Enterprise space shuttle prototype completed a series of approach and landing flight trials. It's an honor for us to conduct testing of our electric air taxi on this hallowed ground.

Building an aircraft that can hover, or an aircraft that can fly on its wing, is hard — but transitioning between the two is much harder. Since 2017, we've demonstrated that our aircraft can smoothly transition from one mode of flight to the other, combining the flexibility of a helicopter with the efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft. This footage comes from multiple aircraft flying in multiple U.S. states and countries, demonstrating transition flight over and over and over again — making an incredibly hard engineering problem into a routine, everyday reality that benefits people and the planet.

We're honored to be recognized by Aviation Week Network for the 561-mile hybrid-electric flight the team completed last summer, more than tripling the previous distance record for eVTOL flight. This flight was a real-world demonstration that our aircraft platform can be adapted to carry out longer-range missions using other energy sources.

Joby's deep strategic manufacturing partnership with Toyota Motor Corporation is on display every day at our California facilities as we learn from their expertise to continuously improve our production processes.
