Joby Aviation, a pioneering developer of commercial electric air taxis, has embarked on a new journey by forging a long-term partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense. This collaboration, which spans years of research and development, may soon bear fruit with contracts potentially exceeding $75 million. The scope of their cooperation has broadened to encompass the Marine Corps, involving them in flight tests that cover resupply missions, personnel relocation, and emergency medical response. The military's endorsement of Joby's eVTOL aircraft technology serves as a powerful testament to its commercial viability and potential.
