Joby Aviation has achieved significant milestones in its development of electric air taxis, successfully flying two of its aircraft at the same time while also completing a full transition flight with a pilot onboard. These advancements are crucial for moving towards FAA flight testing. The companyâs aircraft is designed for vertical take-off and landing, capable of carrying up to four passengers at speeds reaching 200 mph. Joby emphasizes its commitment to American innovation and environmentally friendly transportation.
This achievement not only demonstrates Joby's leadership in the sector, it's another indication of the power of American innovation, said Joby Aviation Founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt in a press release.
Transitioning from vertical to horizontal flight is a key design attribute of the Joby aircraft, allowing it to take-off and land vertically like a helicopter, while maintaining the efficiency and speed of a conventional, fixed-wing aircraft in forward flight.
