I’m so excited to see this fly! Kind of random but one day I hope there’s an RC REGENT for kids to fly

TIG welding with no gloves is an interesting choice

Just curious , is it able to go higher altitudes temporarily to hop over obstructions like Bridges etc or does it need to stay on ground effect the whole time

The foil is genius. Love it. A futuristic V2 model incoming?

Does it use ground effect?

Our pre-production prototype aircraft flew more than 10,800 miles last year, demonstrating the maturity of our technology and generating valuable flight test data for our certification program. Here's an animation showing many of the flight paths we flew in 2022.

The birthplace of flight knows how to put on a show. With propeller production now underway at our facility nearby, this year's CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show was a chance to introduce our technology to the community and share our vision for the future of flight in the place where it all began. The excitement was contagious. The questions were even better. Both reminded us why we chose Dayton as our scaled manufacturing home. Next stop on the Electric Skies Tour ➡️ Detroit

PILOT-ON-BOARD TRANSITION | We’ve reached a critical milestone on our path to commercializing the Joby aircraft: flying through transition with a pilot onboard. And then we did it six more times in the past week, with three different Joby pilots experiencing transition flight onboard the aircraft. Combining the flexibility of vertical take-off with efficient cruise flight is a unique capability that we first demonstrated in 2017, and hundreds upon hundreds of times since. This milestone — the result of thousands of hours of careful, diligent testing — represents a significant step forward for our aircraft certification program, and for our industry. Read more:

Take a behind-the-scenes look at our recent milestone—Development Flight 2. This full-scale flight test successfully tested a multitude of key systems needed to safely launch the capsule to 100,000 ft (30,480 m) and bring it back in a controlled descent to ocean splashdown. The completion of this flight kicks off a series of further uncrewed test flights that will examine every possible corner case as well as test our redundancy systems to ensure the safest future operations as we progress toward crewed test flights and commercialization. Spaceship Neptune is poised to offer a transformative six-hour experience to the edge of space. Propelled by our SpaceBalloon™, it will carry Explorers at a gentle 12 mph (~19 kph) pace. Aboard, you will find a comfortable and luxurious experience—complete with a Space Lounge, a proper restroom, and even a bar. Explorers can enjoy the life-changing experience with fellow passengers or share it with friends and family Earthside through the capsule’s Wi-Fi.
