Joby’s electric flying taxis are one step closer to lift off, expected to begin in 2025

Joby Aviation’s electric flying taxis got regulatory approval for flight testing, keeping the company on track to launch commercial operations in 2025.

The California-based manufacturer said in a statement on Wednesday (June 28), that the Federal Aviation Administration has given it permission to test its first prototype aircraft built on the production line.
The eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) maker currently plans to deliver two aircraft to Edwards Air Force Base in 2024 as part of its $131 million Department of Defense contract with the US Air Force, which expects to use the eVTOLs for passenger and cargo transportation. It would mark Joby’s first customer delivery.
The next step is the launch of its commercial passenger services, which are expected to begin in 2025. To that end, Joby has already formed a partnership with Delta Airlines to shuttle passengers to and from airports.

Ill wait a few years or never. Just like the Osprey, I hope to never step foot in one.

More of those augered in (filled with Marines) than the military and Boeing will ever admit. They did finally get the shite work out, but the 90s were a rough time for that aircraft.

Like the Titan submarine, but in the air.

How in the hell did Boeing go so right with the Apache and go so wrong with the Osprey?

This market is coming and it is coming much more quickly than we anticipated.

Though the Osprey accident/incident occurrences were higher than the Apache, the Apache was plagued with a lot of reliability and logistical support problems resulting in low availability rates. Most of these issues have been corrected since initial delivery, but it was not a smooth, trouble free roll out as was hoped by the Army and Boeing.

No thanks, reminds me of an air version of the ocean gate sub.
Where will they even land and takeoff?
