Manufacturer Joby Aviation, which recruited several veterans of Uber to help develop its eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) air taxi service, will work with the rideshare platform’s co-founder to build a new network of takeoff and landing sites.
Joby on Tuesday announced a strategic partnership with Atoms, led by Uber co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick, to acquire and develop vertiport sites across the U.S. The vertiports would give the company’s air taxi places to take off, land, charge, and ingress and egress once it is certified for commercial service.
