Joby Aviation has begun manufacturing propeller blades for its eVTOL aircraft at its Dayton, Ohio facility, expanding in-house production of a critical component. The work builds on testing already underway in Ohio and leverages the city’s aerospace workforce and supplier network.
The blades are designed for quiet flight and require precise carbon fiber manufacturing. Each aircraft uses 30 blades, with production potentially reaching up to 15,000 per year. Conforming blades meeting FAA inspection and certification requirements are expected next month, with installation on flight test aircraft targeted for next year.
Joby selected Dayton for its aerospace heritage, skilled workforce, and proximity to suppliers, allowing efficient local manufacturing. The facility is expected to support production of up to 500 aircraft per year and assist Joby’s certification programs, linking operations in California and Ohio to prepare for commercial service.
To mark production, Joby will host an event at the Dayton facility on November 10, bringing together local leaders, partners, and team members.
