Joby Aviation: all-electric flight

Feb 24, 2021

At #JobyAviation​ we've spent the last 10 years developing a quiet, all-electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically. Today, with more than 1000 test flights behind us, we're sharing footage of it for the first time.

Designed to carry a pilot and four passengers up to 150 miles at speeds up to 200 miles per hour, we plan to deliver new ways of moving around congested cities and under-served rural communities, starting in 2024.
