    Joby Aviation Completes 3,199-Mile Autonomous Flight Across the US

    Question

    Joby Aviation Completes 3,199-Mile Autonomous Flight Across the US

    Direct answer

    Joby Aviation (JOBY) reached a technical flight test milestone by completing a 3,199-mile autonomous transcontinental flight across the United States. The aircraft, an upgraded Cessna Caravan equipped with Joby's proprietary autonomy stack, operated without manual pilot intervention during any phase of flight. Under remote ground supervision, the system managed ground taxiing, takeoff procedures, en-route airspace navigation, and runway landings. The flight demonstrates commercial operational feasibility for autonomous utility aircraft and uncrewed cargo logistics.
