As a boy, JoeBen Bevirt fantasized about flying cars. As CEO of Joby Aviation, Bevirt is getting closer to turning that boyhood dream into reality.
SAN FRANCISCO — When he was still a boy making long, tedious trips between his school and his woodsy home in the mountains during the 1980s, JoeBen Bevirt began fantasizing about flying cars that could whisk him to his destination in a matter of minutes.
Port San Antonio jockeying to be ‘flying car’ hub Plans call for the hub to offer a park-and-ride service using eVTOLs to ferry employees from VIA transit centers and park-and-ride lots across the city. The port’s tenants employ more than 18,000 people, according to the port.
San Antonio’s StandardAero is going supersonic in expansion of its deal with Boom But there are more regulatory hurdles to be cleared before the craft will be allowed to carry passengers in the U.S., making Dubai the most likely place where eVTOLs will first take commercial flight — perhaps by the end of this year. “It’s a tricky business to develop a whole new class of vehicles,” said Alan Lim, director of Alton Aviation Consultancy, a firm tracking the industry’s evolution.
UTSA drone testing enclosure built to spur research, collaboration Both Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation went public in 2021 through reverse mergers, opening up another fundraising avenue and making it easier to recruit engineers with the allure of stock options. Both companies have been able to attract workers away from Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX and, in Archer’s instance, raiding the ranks of Wisk Aero.
