According to Joby, a major step was taken on the journey to scaled production with the rollout and subsequent first flight of its production prototype aircraft.

Joby Aviation founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt said the production of its prototype aircraft will ensure Joby is a leader in the sector: “We’re proud to have launched production in our home state of California.

“I’m incredibly grateful to the Joby team for their commitment to ensuring Joby remains a clear leader in this new sector, and to Toyota for sharing their knowledge and experience with us over many years. Their support has been indispensable in helping us reach this point.”

Joby’s eVTOL aircraft is planned to be the first of this type to be delivered to a customer, when it moves to Edwards Air Force Base in early 2024 as part of a contract worth up to $131m.
