Joby's Vision

Joby Aviation describes this UK deployment as a glimpse of the future of mobility it is working to build — one where "saving an hour by taking a flight is simply the norm."

The timing is deliberate: launching during the Farnborough International Airshow signals that eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft are moving beyond concept demonstrations and into real-world passenger operations, generating significant attention across the industry.
