California-based Joby Aviation Inc. has applied for certification of its revolutionary all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger service for use in Japan.
Japanese and US regulatory authorities confirmed that they have agreed to streamline the approval process for US applicants who wish to validate their eVTOL aircraft designs in Japan.
Joby’s application to the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) is for the validation of its Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which us a prerequisite for it to launch aerial ridesharing services in Japan.
Joby plans to use its five-seat, piloted eVTOL aircraft to connect people and cities through fast, quiet, and emissions-free flights.
According to JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation, with 92 percent of residents living in urban areas, they have a spectacular opportunity to save people time in congested cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka while also reducing their impact on the environment.
