The company did four flights last week with a pilot on board, which will move its four-passenger aircraft closer to commercial operations.
The company recently completed the piloted flights of its pre-production prototype at its Pilot Production Facility in Marina, Calif. It is also conducting flight tests at Edward Air Force Base, where Air Force Pilots are flying its eVTOL.

He helped design and test the flight controls of the F-35 Strike Fighter, but said “nothing compares to the simplicity and grace of a Joby aircraft.”
