Abstract

The article focuses on Joby Aviation Inc., an air taxi company developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for short commuter flights. The company announced that Didier Papadopoulos, its president of aircraft operations, will resign on July 3 for personal reasons, with no disputes cited. Joby, backed by Toyota Motor Corp., plans to begin commercial passenger service possibly this year, though certification from the US Federal Aviation Administration and other regulators is still pending, and previous launch timelines have been delayed. Toyota, Joby’s largest shareholder, is also exploring a strategic manufacturing partnership to support increased production. [Extracted from the article]
