Electric Air Taxi Firm Joby Announces $500M Investment From Toyota
打开原文丰田向Joby Aviation投资5亿美元，用于其eVTOL空中出租车的商业生产和适航认证，表明大型车企正积极布局未来空中交通领域。该飞行器已进入测试阶段，若获得FAA批准，将有望在明年投入运营，标志着eVTOL行业向商业化迈进一步。
One of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers this week committed half a billion dollars to help develop a new mode of flight.
Toyota on Wednesday announced it will funnel an additional $500 million into the commercial production and certification of Joby Aviation’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi. The four-passenger design—which takes off vertically like a helicopter but cruises on fixed wings—last year began crewed testing and is expected to begin ferrying customers as early as next year, pending FAA approval.
