Joby Aviation is an aerospace company developing an eVTOL aircraft intended to operate as an air taxi service. Joby Aviation is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, and has disclosed offices in San Carlos, California, Marina, California, and Munich, Germany.
Joby has developed a four-passenger commercial aircraft with a pilot, capable of traveling up to 150 mi (240 km) on a single charge at a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h). The aircraft is designed to be 100 times quieter during takeoff and landing than a helicopter. Joby plans to mass-produce its aircraft, with a plan to operate a piloted on-demand air-taxi service. The aircraft will be electrically-powered and operate with zero emissions.
Joby intends to get people to their destination five times faster than driving, reduce urban congestion, and accelerate the shift to sustainable modes of transit. The aircraft will be operated as a service with per-trip passenger pricing.
