Joby Aviation successfully operated in FAA-controlled airspace by completing its first flight between Marina and Monterey airports according to an announcement by the company.
The milestone marks the first time a piloted electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxi has flown from one public airport to another.
Joby has been doing business in Marina for about seven years and recently began full operation of its expanded Marina site – a 220,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Marina Municipal Airport, enabling it to boost production up to 24 aircraft per year, and bringing its total occupancy at the municipal airport to 435,500 square feet. The site also provides key capabilities including Joby’s initial FAA production certification, conforming ground and flight testing components, pilot training simulators and aircraft maintenance.
