    Air taxi maker Joby buys new Ohio factory, more than doubles manufacturing footprint as it vies for FAA approval

    Joby Aviation on Wednesday said it bought a 700,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Dayton, Ohio, as the air taxi maker gears up to meet its production goals for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircrafts, also known as eVTOLs. Joby agreed to purchase the facility from Capstone...

  • Regulatory frameworks will be a major factor in the commercial rollout of eVTOLs.

    Key areas under development include:
    • Aircraft certification standards
    • Pilot licensing and training models
    • Airspace integration with existing traffic
    • Safety and compliance oversight

    Clear and adaptive regulations will help ensure safe and scalabl…Read More

  • eVTOL technology is moving fast.

    Regulations, however, move with caution — and rightly so.

    Certification standards, pilot requirements, airspace rules, and safety oversight will decide how quickly eVTOLs move from trials to daily operations.

    Progress will depend on collaboration, not shortcuts.

  • Eve Air Mobility completes first flight of full-scale eVTOL prototype

    Eve Air Mobility, a company developing a suite of solutions for the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market, including an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, completed the first flight of its uncrewed full-scale eVTOL prototype at Embraer’s test...

  • For eVTOLs to scale, technical readiness alone is not enough.

    Public acceptance will be influenced by:
    • Safety records and transparency
    • Noise and environmental impact
    • Clear operational guidelines
    • Gradual, visible deployment

    Addressing public concerns early will be critical for long-term success of eVTOL operations.
