Taxi Flying Flying has a larger test so far as it seeks to obtain the FAA approval

Joby Aviation has just completed the ambitious maneuvering in the air that places the company’s future aircraft on the path towards the flight test in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Joby succeeded in running one of its six-sessions of vertical conversion to a horizontal cruise and returned again with a pilot on the plane, with the diversity of the plane in the air-a major value suggestion for the elegant Joby design that works with electricity.

The test trip was held on April 22 at the company’s facility in Marina, California, and was tried by James “Body” Dunham, Jobi test pilot. Denham is not a stranger on an envelope activation plane-he previously helped design flying control systems in the FGHter Jet.

But the last plane, called N544JX, is designed to be an air taxi, not a fighter plane. Thus, it is only designed to travel up to 200 miles per hour (322 km per hour), carrying up to four passengers and producing less noise than a helicopter.

The electrical plane carries out vertical lifting and landing settings (EVTOL), allowing it to fly and land in dense urban centers or corridors -free places. According to Lolli ReleaseThe company is on the right track to complete the flight test in mid -2025, before its first passengers in the Middle East.

“The design and flying of a plane that can pass smoothly between the header and cruise flights is one of the most challenging technological exploits in space,” Dunaham said in Joby. “The aircraft flew exactly as expected, with excellent processing qualities and low demo work.”

Not only was Jubby, uh, this. The company has completed 40,000 miles (64,374 km) of test trips so far and hundreds of transformations from vertical take off to the plane to the flight flight site.

The July Fleet of Five Electric Taxi Cars performs header to square heads routinely, as it recently ended the full journey cycle from the horizontal flight to vertical landing under experimental control. But there is a long way in front of the TIA TESISES TRA flying test on the plane. The TIA test is one of the final steps in ratifying the plane to hold commercial passengers, and it is decisively achieved whether the plane reaches performance and safety measures.

The company still has some obstacles it faces, including an invasion in the Middle East, but the unique air vehicles from Jobay may make its way to the American corridors soon.
