Joby Aviation (JOBY) is a California-based aviation company developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for use as air taxis. Its aircraft are designed to be quiet, all‑electric, and capable of carrying several passengers at speeds up to about 200 mph for close to 150 miles, aiming to reduce urban congestion and emissions through aerial ridesharing.
Founded in 2009, Joby Aviation is headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, with additional facilities in Marina and San Carlos, California. The company primarily operates and tests in the United States but is positioning its technology for future international deployment as urban air mobility infrastructure and regulations develop globally.
