Joby Aviation's Electric Air Taxi Milestone
Joby Aviation continues to push the boundaries of urban air mobility. The company recently tested its electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) air taxi with a pilot onboard, marking a crucial step toward commercial viability. Prior to this, the aircraft had already flown thousands of miles uncrewed—a testament to its reliability and performance. The latest tests showcased various capabilities, including vertical takeoffs, transitioning seamlessly to horizontal flight, and other flight maneuvers essential for real-world operation. These advancements bring us closer to a future where electric air taxis could revolutionize urban transportation.
