At Joby Aviation, we are revolutionizing personal transportation through our pioneering electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Our commitment to transforming urban mobility stems from a clear understanding of the challenges our customers face with current transportation methods—namely, the inefficiencies of traditional ground travel that result in wasted time and increased pollution. Our aircraft, capable of taking off and landing vertically, offers a smart, safe, and environmentally friendly solution, designed to seamlessly integrate with the daily lives of the communities we serve.

We have spent over a decade developing and refining our technology, collaborating with experts and government entities, including receiving airworthiness approval from the U.S. Air Force in December 2020. Our engineers have dedicated years to ensuring our aircraft meets stringent safety and noise standards, making it a viable option for urban environments. In addition, our aerial ridesharing service promises to reduce ground congestion while providing a fast, clean alternative to traditional taxis. With cutting-edge development in electric motors, flight software, and battery technologies, our vehicles are not only quiet—expected to blend smoothly into ambient urban noise—but also set to transform the way people think about commuting. We are dedicated to making this innovative form of air travel accessible to everyone.
