Joby Aviation has reached an important step toward bringing the Joby aircraft to market: flying through transition with a pilot onboard.

Joby completed this maneuver six more times, with three different pilots experiencing it in flight.

The aircraft’s ability to take off vertically and then switch to fast, efficient forward flight is something we first showed in 2017, and we’ve done it hundreds of times since.

This achievement, made possible by thousands of hours of careful testing, is a big move forward for getting our aircraft certified and for the future of the industry.
