Joby Aviation, Inc. JOBY

We have spent more than a decade designing and testing a piloted, all-electric, vertical take-off and landing ("eVTOL") air taxi which we intend to operate in cities around the world. We intend to operate air taxi services both directly and through strategic partnerships, while also pursuing aircraft sales to distributors and expanding into defense and other specialized markets. Our mission is to help the world connect faster and more easily with the people and places that matter most by delivering a new form of clean, fast, quiet and convenient aerial transportation service. The Joby eVTOL is being designed to transport a pilot and up to four passengers - or a targeted payload of up to 1,000 pounds - at speeds of up to 200 mph. The aircraft is optimized for urban routes, with a target range of up to 100 miles on a single charge. According to our modeling, more than 99% of urban routes in cities such as New York City and Los Angeles are significantly shorter than this, enabling higher utilization through faster turnaround times of our aircraft. By combining the freedom of air travel with the efficiency of our aircraft, we expect to deliver journeys that are up to 10 times faster than driving, and it is our goal to steadily drive down end-user pricing in the years following commercial launch to make the service widely accessible.
