California-based eVTOL developer Joby Aviation announced Friday it has received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration of its first systems review and compliance review.

Joby Aviation announced Wednesday it’s partnering with Canada-based CAE to develop and qualify flight simulators that will be used to train electric air taxi pilots.

A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary report says Joby’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft ‘experienced a component failure.’

Joby Aviation is targeting the U.K. for the first time, as the California-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi developer widens its international scope.

The FAA solicits public comment on a draft document detailing requirements for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vertiports.

A Joby Aviation experimental air-taxi prototype test article has been involved in an accident at its flight test facility in rural California, the company said Thursday.

The California-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer and All Nippon Airways aim to create a ride-sharing air taxi service in Japan.

The California-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer has begun FAA conformity testing of its air taxi prototype.

The hour-long tests of Joby’s electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft would reach altitudes up to 5,000 feet.

California-based Joby Aviation is now focusing on reaching an altitude of 10,000 feet, during envelope expansion flights. [Courtesy Joby Aviation]
