最新报道:Joby Aviation partners with L3Harris to develop hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft for defense applications, combining Joby's eVTOL technology with L3Harris' defense systems expertise. The collaboration aims to create a new class of vertical takeoff and landing vehicles for military logistics and personnel transport, leveraging Joby's FAA-certified air taxi platform. This marks Joby's first major defense sector partnership since going public in 2021, expanding its commercial air taxi ambitions into government contracts. The hybrid design will extend range beyond pure electric models while maintaining low noise signatures. Initial prototypes are expected within 18 months, with potential applications including special operations and medical evacuation missions.
