Joby Aviation this week started construction to expand the Pilot Production Line for its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft. When completed next year, the work will more than double the capacity of the site at Marina Municipal Airport in California.

During a groundbreaking event on April 29, Joby rolled out its second production prototype aircraft. This will follow the first conforming example of the model to Edwards Air Force Base, where the U.S. Air Force is evaluating applications for eVTOL vehicles. Two more production aircraft are now in final assembly at Marina.
