Key Takeaways:

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly suggested Joby could be held back by a lack of aircraft orders. The company is not taking orders for its air taxi and will operate the aircraft through its rideshare service partnership with Delta. In addition, it has commercial operational agreements in Japan and South Korea.

The birthplace of the earliest airplanes will soon be home to some of the most futuristic aircraft under development.
