Joby Aviation
Skip traffic. Time to fly.

Joby Aviation is developing an all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxi capable of up to 200 mph with zero operating emissions. The service aims to provide seamless door-to-door urban travel bookable through a smartphone app, integrating ground transportation like Uber with vertiport connections. Founded in 2009, the company has conducted thousands of test flights and is building partnerships across airlines, infrastructure, government, and technology sectors.
Users book an all-electric air taxi through the Joby app, which coordinates end-to-end travel including ground transportation to and from vertiports.
