Joby Aviation’s eVTOL air taxi debuted in South Korea this week to conduct a series of demonstration flights for the Korean Urban Air Mobility (K-UAM) Grand Challenge, the California-based aircraft developer announced on December 13. 

The experimental JAS4-1 eVTOL aircraft has been flying at the Goheung Aviation Test Center in South Jeolla Province periodically since December 6, arriving in Korea just over one month after it flew in Japan for Joby’s first-ever overseas flight demonstration.
