Joby Aviation, which for a long time has not said anything about its air taxi, has finally shared new details of its project.
Recall that the Californian startup Joby Aviation, which is developing a silent air taxi, was one of the first to create five-seat electric vertical takeoff aircraft.
The prototype air taxi has already completed over 1000 test flights. The air taxi can travel at a speed of 322 km / h, and its flight range is 240 km.
The Joby aircraft uses six large rotary rotors for vertical lift and level flight. This is one of the most sophisticated and sophisticated aircraft.
The company has such opportunities after close cooperation with Toyota… Joby Aviation also owns Uber Elevate, therefore, in the future, it will be able to provide its taxi with a large passenger traffic and an established transport system.
The company recently announced that it plans to debut on the New York Stock Exchange by merging with SPAC – Reinvent Technology Partners.
In the new video, the developers have demonstrated another feature of the Joby Aviation air taxi. It turned out that the plane was practically silent during takeoff and landing. This is a rarity for VTOL aircraft – vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
In the video, you can see that the founder of Joby Aviation does not have a microphone and continues to talk as an air taxi takes off behind him. Compared to conventional helicopters, such vehicles will be very comfortable for use in an urban environment.
