Joby Aviation

Joby Aviation develops an all electric aircraft that takes off and lands vertically. The company plans to operate an air taxi service that passengers can book through a mobile app. Ground transport connections will complete trips from pickup to destination.

The aircraft carries one pilot and four passengers. It has a top speed of up to 200 mph and a range of up to 100 miles. The design includes six electric tilt propeller units with five blades each. It also uses four lithium ion polymer battery packs. The aircraft produces zero operating emissions. It generates noise of 45 dBA in cruise at 500 meters and 65 dBA at landing from 100 meters.

Founded in 2009, the company is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California. It has more than 2,500 employees and over 15 locations worldwide. It operates a pilot production plant in Marina, California. It also runs a production site for components and testing in Dayton, Ohio. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker JOBY. Joby has grown from a small team of engineers into a global effort to bring everyday electric flight to life.

Joby has worked with the Federal Aviation Administration on certification for nearly a decade. The aircraft is in the final stage of FAA type certification. The company holds an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate. It has completed its first FAA production conformity inspection. It has also completed its first full transition flight with a pilot on board.

The company has established partnerships with Toyota, Uber, Delta Air Lines, Virgin Atlantic, ANA, NASA, Garmin, CAE, Skyports, and Signature Flight Support. Joby has completed the acquisition of Blade Urban Air Mobility and its passenger business. This unit provides helicopter and fixed wing operations in the United States and Europe.
