JOBY (AVIATION) INTENDS TO BEGIN PART 135
PASSENGER OPERATIONS IN 2024 IN THE UNITED
STATES WITH ITS EVTOL AIRCRAFT POWERED BY SIX
ELECTRIC MOTORS DRIVING SIX PROPELLERS THAT
TILT PARALLEL TO FUSELAGE FOR TAKEOFF AND THEN
HORIZONTAL TO THE FUSELAGE FOR CRUISE.

work to evolve the system to address very high-capacity
operations over the long term.
Joby is building its first production aircraft and
has $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments to
support operations. The expansion of a contract with the
Department of Defense indicates that the Army, Navy,
Air Force and Marine Corps all have a strong interest in
eVTOL operations.
" Our aircraft is designed to be able to be operated
within existing systems from day one, whereas the
work being done on ConOps studies is more focused
on those who are preparing for concepts of operation,
which may not exist today, " said Joby in an email. " We
have been working with the FAA and NASA for years to
assure that our aircraft will be able to operate in today's
systems. We do engage in a wide variety of forums that
look at potential future operations. "
While Joby is designed to be flown by a pilot with
fly-by-wire making it very safe, Joby said that, as
autonomous technology develops, it will make the best
decision for the path forward for its customers. " Clearly,
there is a tremendous potential for increased automation
and autonomy over the coming years, " the company
noted.
Joby Aviation acquired Uber Elevate in 2020, so it
will be able to use Uber's app to offer air taxi rides
in urban areas. At the time, Uber agreed to invest $75
million in Joby and expand its partnership with the
aircraft company. There have been no specifics on how
air taxi rides will be priced.
The Joby eVTOL is a zero emissions aircraft. The
noise footprint of the aircraft also offers an advantage
over helicopters. Guy Norris, senior editor with Aviation
Week & Space Technology magazine, is quoted on the
Joby website saying that when he saw a Joby flight
demonstration that " the aircraft made only a partially
perceptible sound that would almost certainly be
undetectable against the everyday noise background of
an urban environment. "
Wisk Aero is taking the opposite approach to Joby in
