“Repurposing its existing eVTOL design for the hydrogen demonstration flight is an efficient way for Joby to begin exploring the potential for longer routes,” wrote Axios' Joann Muller on our recent landmark 523-mile flight using a hydrogen-electric technology. demonstrator. https://lnkd.in/eqsRhPJQ

Our hydrogen-electric technology demonstrator has shown that regional, emissions-free flight is possible, flying 523 miles including vertical take-off and landing. For a deeper look at the hydrogen powertrain onboard the aircraft – and how the teams at Joby and H2FLY collaborated to achieve this landmark flight – check out this technical explainer. https://lnkd.in/er6pMq4N

⚡ 523-Mile Hydrogen-Electric Flight ⚡ We've accomplished something many thought impossible: flying more than 500 miles with no in-flight emissions except water, including a vertical take-off and landing. This landmark flight demonstrates the potential for emissions-free regional flight, connecting cities like San Francisco and San Diego, or Boston and Baltimore.

Safety is our north star, from commercial operations to manufacturing and employee wellness. We were the first electric air taxi company to have our Safety Management System accepted into the Federal Aviation Administration's Voluntary Program for Air Operations, supporting our Part 135. We have also chosen to participate in additional voluntary safety programs as part of our commitment to building a world-class safety culture at Joby. https://lnkd.in/ehBxUNjs

The high-tempo, on-demand air taxi service we intend to offer is unlike any air operations that exist today. We built ElevateOS, our proprietary operating system, from the ground up to enable the safe and efficient operation of this unique service. ElevateOS is the backbone of our commercial operations, including a flight planning tool, a pilot app and a mobile-first rider app. Booking a seat on a Joby aircraft will feel just like using today’s ride-hailing apps. https://lnkd.in/eVgFnTTs

Efficient maintenance operations will play a key role in bringing our commercial service to life. We received our Part 145 Maintenance Certificate earlier this year, and we’re building an MRO system that will allow us to service our aircraft with the high quality and safety standards we hold ourselves to. With our Part 145, we’re able to train and certify maintenance repairmen who work on our aircraft in the field. We’re developing these training programs in-house and are proud to have received a $1M grant from the FAA to support their development. https://lnkd.in/evbPUWX2

Take a look back at Kirsten Dirksen's tour of our Marina, CA facility, where we demonstrated our aircraft’s remarkably quiet sound at takeoff, offered a look at our vertically integrated approach to manufacturing, and had her take a turn in our flight simulator. We’ve reached so many milestones in just a year and a half since filming – from rolling two aircraft off our production line to our exhibition flights in NYC – and we’re continuing to pave the way towards operations of electric air taxis as soon as 2025.

Our electric air taxis will be flown by commercial pilots, and we have been working for several years to develop the materials and simulators to train pilots to fly the Joby aircraft. Learn more about the sector-leading progress we are making on pilot training, including our partnerships with the Department of Defense and CAE. https://lnkd.in/ei65g5wn
