Joby Aviation is showcasing its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi at the Farnborough International Airshow this week, marking its first appearance in Europe.
The debut follows more than a decade of development. The first production model of Joby's four-passenger urban air mobility vehicle, which features six tilting rotors for lift and thrust, was introduced in June last year.
Joby air taxis have covered over 33,000 miles during tests over the past decade, with more than 100 flights conducted with pilots on board. According to Joby, the aircraft can fly up to 100 miles on a single charge and generate noise levels significantly lower than those of conventional helicopters.
