Joby Aviation creates electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for civil and military applications. The company is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Defense and developing a specialized autonomous hybrid aircraft for military use in partnership with L3Harris. The Joby aircraft is powered by six electric motors and features low noise emissions. It is designed to meet the safety standards of the FAA and other international aviation regulators. Its flight can be controlled by an operator from a ground station. The company is also leveraging its existing eVTOL technology and autonomous takeoff and landing system, known as Superpilot, for potential defense applications, such as surveillance, reconnaissance and logistics missions. Specifically, it has been tested to control a Cessna Caravan 208 platform for rapid cargo delivery, hub-and-spoke logistics and inter-island transport.
