Joby Aviation

Here's a closer look at the different kinds of motors and actuators on the Joby aircraft - and why we chose to design and build them in-house.

✅ Tail static load test — complete, for FAA credit! In a big milestone on our path to type certification, we have completed our first "for-credit" FAA testing of a major aerostructure, the tail of our aircraft. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHE7A5ni

We've successfully completed a series of test flights in Korea as part of the K-UAM Grand Challenge, demonstrating a series of various flight profiles including fully wing-borne flight. A huge step towards launching commercial air taxi service in Korea! Read more about our participation in the K-UAM Grand Challenge alongside our 'Dream Team' partners SK Telecom, Hanwha Group, 티맵모빌리티 (TMAP MOBILITY) and Korea Airports Corporation (KAC, 한국공항공사). https://lnkd.in/esZbxzTQ

Want to know how we use rapid prototyping to optimize the acoustics and performance of our aircraft? Check out this recent episode on NOVA | PBS for a deeper look at how our vertical integrated approach to engineering enables rapid design, build, and test cycles to deliver unparalleled results. https://lnkd.in/eMZ_Ts_6

How do we design and manufacture lightweight, battery-electric aircraft? It’s all about carbon fiber. Featuring Joby composite manufacturing engineer Aurelien Stamper!

We’re pleased to announce a partnership with Jetex to bring seamless connectivity and sustainable air mobility to Jetex customers. We plan to install our GEACS charging systems at Jetex locations across the Middle East to support Joby operations that will connect Emirates and the region more broadly.

Popular Science's "50 Greatest Inventions of 2024" recognized Joby as their Aerospace Grand Award Winner for demonstrating emissions-free flights of more than 500 miles using our hydrogen-electric technology demonstrator. https://lnkd.in/eMUWdbZb

We recently completed a four-week maintenance training program in partnership with U.S. Air Force AFWERX Agility Prime, providing the government with a technical overview of electric aircraft maintenance operations while we received feedback from experienced service members to further hone our in-house maintenance training program. https://lnkd.in/eF36jzk6

Here's a closer look at how we rigorously test our tilt systems prior to flight using test fixtures designed and built in-house.

We’re pleased to share that we have checked two more items off our operations ‘pre-flight’ checklist: First, we received our Part 141 certificate from the FAA for Joby’s flight academy, enabling us to offer streamlined pilot training to develop a pipeline of qualified pilots in advance of commercial service. And second, we also received acceptance from the FAA for our Part 5 air operations voluntary Safety Management System, placing our Part 135 operation years ahead of the mandatory compliance deadline. https://lnkd.in/eBtXPNf5
