In 2023, Joby Aviation's team achieved remarkable milestones in manufacturing, certification, and flight testing, all while steadfastly advancing the development of a next-generation aviation company with strong ties to local communities in California.
The team successfully conducted 78 manned flight demonstrations, showcasing the capabilities of their innovative aircraft. They also made substantial progress in expanding production capacity, particularly in flight electronics, composites, metallics, and other crucial areas. Additionally, the establishment of four FAA-conforming parts assembly lines underscored their commitment to meeting regulatory standards.
Joby Aviation continued to lead the industry in pursuing FAA certification for the first electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The submission of nearly 3,000 pages of documentation and the completion of over 35 for-credit tests marked significant achievements as they progressed into Stage 4 of the certification process.
As the company expanded operations in California, Costa Rica, and Germany, they maintained a focus on building strong connections with local communities. Throughout 2023, Joby Aviation actively engaged with over 1,500 students in California, as well as numerous others outside the Golden State, further emphasizing their commitment to fostering positive relationships beyond their immediate surroundings.
