It’s time to dream bigger. Our vision is to save a billion people an hour a day.

Day and night, a small team of seven engineers worked out of “The Barn,” our workshop in the mountains above Santa Cruz. We explored the frontiers of technologies like electric motors, flight software, and lithium-ion batteries — engineering almost every component from the ground up.

After many years of subscale testing and analysis, we arrived at our current configuration and flew this subscale technology demonstrator for the first time.

Our first full-scale demonstrator took to the skies in 2017.

As well as becoming a strategic investor in Joby, Toyota has deployed dozens of engineers to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our team, lending their expertise on factory layout, manufacturing process development and high-volume production.

In 2019, our pre-production prototype began a rigorous flight testing program.

We deepened our partnership with Uber, agreeing to integrate our aerial ridesharing service into the Uber app, and vice versa, across all U.S. launch markets. Uber increased their investment in Joby and we acquired the Elevate division, bringing their software and expertise in house.

During the year that Joby listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:JOBY), our pre-production prototype flew more than 5,300 miles, including a flight of 154.6 miles on a single charge.

We also built a second pre-production prototype, completed our first FAA production conformity inspection and officially began our journey to become the first certified eVTOL airline.

We received our Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate, which allows Joby to operate a commercial air taxi service.

We signed a multi-year, multi-city partnership with Delta Air Lines to deliver a home-to-airport air taxi service that seamlessly integrates Joby flight into the Delta customer experience.

We launched production at our Pilot Production Plant in Marina, CA, with the first aircraft rolling off the line in June to begin flight testing.

We completed the first-ever electric air taxi flight in New York City, marking our first urban flight and a major step toward bringing clean, quiet air travel to one of the world’s busiest cities.

We successfully flew a first-of-its-kind hydrogen-electric air taxi demonstrator 523 miles, marking a major step toward zero-emission regional flight with water as the only by-product.

We successfully completed our first full transition flights with a pilot onboard, marking a major step toward FAA flight testing and bringing us closer to commercial operations

We deepened our partnership with Toyota through the successful close of the first $250 million tranche of their strategic investment, accelerating certification, production, and our shared goal of transforming how the world moves.

We expanded our Marina, California site to double our aircraft production capacity and opened our scaled operation site in Dayton, Ohio to manufacture and test components, marking a major step toward scaled commercial operations.

We completed our acquisition of Blade Air Mobility’s passenger business, gaining access to its established terminals and loyal flyers in key markets like New York and Southern Europe, positioning Joby for a faster entry into commercial service.
