Joby Aviation, the American developer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has made key progress in the international market, taking another step towards commercial air taxi operations. The company announced that it has started manned eVTOL flight tests in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which is an important step in its process of obtaining the necessary certification.
According to IT Home, Joby Aviation is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, USA. With its advanced technology and strong financial support, it is gradually achieving large-scale eVTOL production and plans to launch commercial operations and paid air taxi services on multiple continents.
In October 2023, Joby completed its first manned flight and subsequently conducted a flight demonstration in New York City, showcasing its vision for fully operating eVTOL air taxis in the future, with initial plans to achieve it by 2025. In the autumn of 2024, Joby, through a long-term partnership with Toyota, will bring its experimental eVTOL air taxi to Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan for an international flight demonstration, showcasing the performance of its aircraft against the backdrop of Mount Fuji.
