oby Aviation, Inc.
(NYSE:JOBY ) and Skyports
Infrastructure today
announced they are developing
a Living Lab passenger terminal
that will enable the two companies
to test a variety of technologies and
procedures that will help define how
passengers experience vertical flight
in the future.
"Our all-electric vertical take-off and
landing aircraft is set to revolutionize
the way we travel in and around
cities. Joby riders will skip the traffic,
flying directly to their destination at
up to 200 mph," said Eric Allison,
Head of Product at Joby.
"But to realize the vision of everyday
flight, we need to deliver a seamless
and more rapid experience on the
ground. e Living Lab will allow us
to rethink the terminal experience,
keeping our customers front and
center throughout their entire
journey," he added.
Duncan Walker, CEO at Skyports,
said "We expect the Living Lab to be
instrumental in our efforts to engage
regulators, government officials,
and the public to demonstrate the
benefits of electric vertical take-off
and landing operations and promote
acceptance of this new form of
mobility.
