The world's first air taxi.

Behind me is the Joby Job. It is probably the leader where all the EV TOS are in the certification process, and they're creating a lot of the new technologies from the ground up.

This vehicle is going to be about 200 mph and going to have about 100-mile range. It's one of the coolest looking, but you can't buy it, and they're going to be operated mostly by Joby. The equipment on it is pretty much standard on most of these.

It’s amazing the fact that this weighs less than a Tesla, so it's a super light vehicle. However, you got really four or five monster engines on it, and they have a double engine in each n-cell, which means if one happens to go out, there's a backup cell to go ahead and keep the thing running.

Not only that, if you lose one or two, the system has artificial intelligence to make sure the distribution doesn't have any equilibrium distraction in the operation. It's already flown over 500 miles using a hydrogen cell. That's not in the initial delivery of these, but it's a test that they've done.

We're really pushing the envelope even further, and they think that they'll be certifying these maybe by the end of 2025.
