Joby Aircraft
Fast, Flexible Travel
Taking off and landing vertically allows us to get you closer to your destination than ever before.
Quiet by design
We designed our acoustic footprint to make our aircraft as quiet as the wind in the trees for city-friendly travel.
Zero operating emissions
All-electric and energy-efficient, making clean, everyday flight a reality.
Six electric motors
Six propellers, four battery packs and a triple-redundant flight computer to enhance safety in the skies.
In the horizontal position, our propellers allow for efficient and fast cruising during wingborne flight.
In the vertical position, our propellers generate upward thrust for takeoff and landing, enabling stable, helicopter-like flight in tight urban spaces.
Safely soaring skyward
Nearly a decade of certification work with FAA
Our aircraft is in the final stage of the same design certification process that is used to certify traditional airplanes and helicopters.
Thousands of testing hours for each part
We rigorously test every aspect of our aircraft's hardware and software, from the smallest piece of carbon fiber to fully integrated systems.
Redundancy built in
We designed our aircraft's powertrain, flight controls, and electronics to be fully redundant, with six dual-wound propulsion motors, four battery backs, a triple-redundant flight control computer and dual critical actuation systems.
Intuitive piloting with integrated controls
We've revolutionized pilot controls, to make them simple and intuitive, allowing our fully-qualified pilots to focus on what matters most.
Designed to be quiet
Propeller Design
Blade tip geometry was designed to reduce vortex-interaction noise in transition
Sound Waves
Low-intensity sound waves in cruise let our aircraft fade into daily noise
We've spent more than a decade ensuring our aircraft is able to blend into the background as it moves around our cities.
Making Dreams Take Flight
We design, engineer and manufacture our critical aircraft components in-house. That means almost every detail, seen and unseen, is built and verified by our own team.
Our manufacturing process is designed to maximize precision and quality control, informed by Toyota’s legendary expertise.
Joby is a vertically-integrated company, meaning we design, engineer, test and manufacture our critical aircraft components in-house.
We’re delivering best-in-class performance through ultra-lightweight, highly optimized design. From airframes and actuators to powertrains and electronics, our components are engineered in-house with a relentless focus on innovation.
We conduct equipment-level testing at speed, with the capability to support the full spectrum of development and certification testing. Our state-of-the-art labs enable rapid iteration and validation across systems.
Our manufacturing process is designed for scalability without compromising precision or quality — made possible through close collaboration with Toyota’s world-renowned engineering and production systems.
Designed, engineered, built and tested in America.
We’re redefining aerospace manufacturing with advanced techniques and innovative materials. Our titanium-aluminum-carbon fiber airframe and robotic 3D printing deliver exceptional strength, precision, and efficiency.
Our lightweight, modular battery has four independent packs with fault isolation. System-wide redundancy keeps the aircraft safely airborne even in the rare event of a component failure.
Our tilting propeller system blends VTOL capability with high-speed, fixed-wing cruise. It lifts off from any vertiport, no runway required, while delivering best-in-class lift-to-drag efficiency for exceptional range.
VTOL aerodynamics are complex, and our team has spent 15+ years perfecting advanced tools, simulations, and test methods. We use internally developed proprietary simulation tools combined with testing in NASA’s largest wind tunnel.
Our software is developed in-house and integrated in collaboration with industry-leading partners, ensuring a seamless, end-to-end system. User, operational, and pilot tools connect as one ecosystem, improving efficiency, safety, and the flight experience.
All flight testing is done in-house with a safety-first approach focused on pilot confidence and system reliability. It includes digital simulators, hardware-in-the-loop, remote-controlled, and fully piloted flights.
To test our propulsion systems, we built the “Whirly Bird,” a test rig that simulates beyond flight conditions, letting us gather performance insights rapidly without flying a full aircraft.
Our environmental testing combines simulation and real-world conditions in state-of-the-art facilities to validate durability and performance across temperature, humidity, altitude, vibration, RF exposure, salt, lightning, loads, and more.
