MARINA – Joby Aviation has rolled out its third production prototype aircraft off its pilot production line in Marina recently and expects four aircraft to be in active flight test later this year.
In March, the company announced its acquisition of an existing facility at Dayton International Airport where it has begun hiring in support of its initial operations there. The facility acquired by Joby will be fitted out to support initial manufacturing operations in Dayton, which are expected to begin later this year. The facility will be used for the manufacturing of aircraft parts in support of Joby’s Pilot Production Line in Marina.
Joby’s Pilot Production Line in Marina, currently in its “mega-tent” at the Marina Airport, is designed to specifically help Joby learn how to manufacture and optimize its manufacturing processes so it is able to scale to larger volumes.
