Joby? Aviation is currently using its self-developed VTOL aircraft, combined with Toyota's experience in building cars, to develop electric air taxi services.
Joby? At present, aviation planes rely on manual driving, with a speed of 200 miles per hour (32 1 km/h) and a cruising range of 150 miles (24 1 km). Because the flying car adopts electric drive system and multi-rotor design, Joby? Aviation says it is quieter than traditional aircraft when taking off and landing 100 times, and almost silent when flying overhead.
Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation, is optimistic about this cooperation. He believes that this is an "exciting new effort" with "the potential to change future traffic and life".
Joby? Aviation believes that electric vertical take-off and landing is more cost-effective than traditional helicopters used for short flights, and it can be used by everyone by maximizing utilization and saving fuel.
