Joby Aviation eVTOL aircraft
Joby Aviation is seeking to have its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft in the U.S., the UK, Japan, and most recently Australia.

Joby Aviation has filed an application with Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to have the pending FAA type certification for its four-passenger eVTOL aircraft validated in the country. On August 6, the U.S. company announced the start of the process, which will be based on CASA’s bilateral agreement with the U.S. regulator.

Australia is the fourth country in which Joby is now seeking a type certificate for an aircraft it aims to bring into commercial service in 2025. It has also made applications in the UK and Japan.
