    Joby Aviation completes 3,199-mile autonomous cross-country flight without pilot input

    Question

    Joby Aviation completes 3,199-mile autonomous cross-country flight without pilot input

    Direct answer

    Joby Aviation executed a 3,199-mile autonomous transcontinental flight across the United States. Conducted with an onboard safety pilot providing zero control inputs, the converted Cessna Caravan aircraft completed all phases of flight including ground taxiing, takeoff, en-route navigation, and landing. The remote-supervised demonstration serves as a technical proof point for Joby's flight autonomy software suite, which the company aims to integrate into electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) platforms and regional logistics fleets.
