Joby Aviation subsidiary, H2FLY, completed a series of piloted flights with its HY4 demonstrator aircraft, including one that lasted more than three hours.
This collaboration aims to highlight AutoFlight’s potential in scaling up sustainable urban logistics and passenger transportation under real-world conditions.
Built on an 18-month collaboration, the aim of the flight test campaign was to implement and scale an electric UAM ecosystem and testbed in NEOM, a smart city in Saudi Arabia.
This European city may be the first in the world to offer electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) services, which is planned to begin summer 2024.
The company’s infrastructures will contribute to reducing traffic congestion, improving accessibility, and promoting sustainable transportation solutions in the bustling city of Dubai.
