Joby and Garmin work to eVTOL certification 11th February 2021 11:05 Europe/London The pace of development in the world of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is accelerating with one leading player, Joby Aviation, taking three huge steps in as many days. First, Joby Aviation’s eVTOL has earned its first revenue flying with the US military Agility Prime project. Second, Joby has agreed the start of the certification process with the US civil aviation authority, the FAA. Third, Joby and Garmin have jointly announced that Garmin’s G3000 integrated flightdeck will be installed into the production eVTOL. The US Agility Prime project seeks to accelerate the development of a commercial market for eVTOL and other radical new aircraft designs. Joby’s involvement comes off the back of receiving airworthiness approval from the US air force.
