Joby Aviation is known throughout the world as the leading eVTOL company. The dream began to take flight when JoeBen Bevirt commuted to Gateway elementary school in Santa Cruz. The drive from his home in Bonny Doon to Santa Cruz, winding through the redwoods and the Highway 1 coastline, took 30-60 minutes depending on weather. JoeBen would often dream how much faster it would be if his parents had an aerial vehicle. Decades later in 2009, a number of engineers at “The Barn” on JoeBen’s property discussed and explored the possibility for electric flight. Winning the NASA partnership in 2012 gave the dream propulsion. View the Story.
