Joby Aviation Completes Historic Piloted eVTOL Flight Over San Francisco Bay
Joby Aviation has marked a significant milestone by completing the first-ever piloted flight of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft across San Francisco Bay. The demonstration flight, which included a pass around the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, showcases a major step toward launching a commercial air taxi service. The journey, which can take over an hour by car during peak traffic, was completed in approximately 15 minutes. This achievement validates the performance and quiet acoustic signature of Joby's aircraft. The company is actively preparing for commercial operations, having already received its Part 135 Air Carrier Certification from the FAA.
