Joby Aviation, Inc. announced it has successfully completed its pre-production flight test program and is now focused on the next phase of flight testing, during which the Company will use its production prototype aircraft to prepare for upcoming for-credit flight testing. Joby first began flying full-scale pre-production prototype aircraft more than four years ago, and the Company's two pre-production aircraft subsequently completed more than 1,500 flights, spanning a total distance of over 33,000 miles, including more than 100 flights with a pilot onboard. The second pre-production aircraft also completed the first electric air taxi exhibition flights in New York City, when it flew from the Manhattan Downtown Heliport over the Hudson River in November 2023.

In 2021, Joby demonstrated a flight of 154.6 statute miles on a single charge, including a vertical take-off and landing. In 2022, Joby partnered with NASA to measure and confirm its aircraft's revolutionary quiet acoustic footprint, which the Company believes will barely be heard in cruise flight against the ambient environment of cities. Joby also demonstrated speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour and flight at altitudes exceeding 10,000 feet above mean sea level.

In 2023, Joby expanded its flight test program to include flights with pilots on board the aircraft, as well as completing the first-ever exhibition flight of an electric air taxi in New York City. Joby also trained four U.S. Air Force pilots to become the first Air Force personnel to fly an eVTOL aircraft through a full flight profile, including the transition from vertical to wingborne flight, as sole pilot-in- command. And in 2024, in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"), Joby completed 31 pilot-on-board flights in two days, demonstrating the aircraft's operational characteristics and precision landing capabilities.
