Getting an eVTOL off the ground

[@BlueEyed888]

It’s time for 60 Minutes to do an update! JOBY is getting close to type certification!

[@idgy88]

Burt Rutan said...if at least 80% of people aren't telling you you're crazy, then you're not trying hard enough!...(or words to that effect). . . I am so excited to see these creatures finally take to the air. Well done!

[@TheBagOfHolding]

Want did Elizabeth Holmes say?

[@FPVREVIEWS]

Joby Aviation has been working on this problem for many years and even collaborated with NASA on several projects to advance the tech. way to go!!

[@Metacognition88]

I approve of Joby

[@Scottietheyoung]

Great stuff to see. Joby is on the way to making history

[@stephen60078]

Archer 12 rotors will have better 1 to 2 failures safety factor advantage. It also will make history, catching up fast, with endorsements from investors and partner suppliers. ARK, Boeing, Stellantis. Just like Joby has Toyota's backing.

[@ronnieam33]

That thing is AWESOME!!

[@paulstein8854]

I wonder how air traffic control would keep up with this. Consider NYC's yellow cab congestion and now imagine that in three rather than two dimensions.

[@jacobcorcho2518]

Would need a separate traffic control specifically for it

[@jebise1126]

no need to worry. if it ever works it wont be many as it wont be or ordinary people as it will still be too expensive

[@biaggiwins]

Don't worry, when the FAA is done regulating every aspect of these machines, only the rich will be able to afford one.

[@dahawk8574]

The current ATC system evolved from antiquated systems of radar and voice radio comm. Today with GPS +computers, it is not inconceivable that the advent of air taxis will bring about a similar revolution in ATC. There is no reason why these cannot be controlled 99+% automatically, with human intervention happening for that last

[@pzak5927]

Looks like a giant toy helicopter that I used to have with a remote control

[@Coach8687]

Seen these over New Jersey lately 😅

[@textech4056]

Oh Sure...If 60 Minutes aired this its gotta be legit...right.? It's 2023. I've heard nothing if a light weight battery. If Elon Musk doesn't have one nobody does

[@wesleyk.8376]

Buying up EVTL while it’s $2.07/share. Load up!!

[@hasanchoudhurymd]

JOBY UAVS future.

[@at24283]

Joby is leader of this new economy. They will open new era for future generations

[@jebise1126]

no passengers means he didnt do it yet... it can still fail. 4 passengers is not small weight

[@RWBHere]

It likely only means that he didn't have full FAA certification to fly it with passengers at the time the video was made..

[@apollostrong7490]

Literally re inventing the wheel

[@jbx.7995]

Cool stuff now I know what I been looking at over the metro area of New York bx,n.y. got it on video & pictures...really thanks for sharing 👍 great stuff

[@djizzah]

Until batteries get lighter and about 10 times more powerful, it's just a fantasy

[@jebise1126]

your statement contradicts it self... if they get lighter and 10 more powerful than they are more than 10 more powerful per weight because they are already lighter

[@andyvalentine1243]

How many years does it take to certify a brand new concept as a commercial aircraft? 5-10 years? How long does it take to re-certify the same aircraft with batteries that are more energy dense? Months, if that. All technology is moved forward by working towards a future that doesn't exist yet.

[@RWBHere]

At least this 'fantasy' flies and has a range of more than 150 miles. Some 'fantasies' can fly for further than this one. Other 'fantasies' go into space. You've watched this video on yet another 'fantasy'. You might even travel around in a 'fantasy' with wheels. How many other everyday things are fantasies to you?

[@johnprendergast1338]

No fat people on windy days ....

[@papa-lt4sb]

👍 gooood!!

[@TheCraftedMine]

EVTOL's won't revolutionize air travel, they'll probably make it worse. You still need to abide by FAA/ATC regulations, and the FAA will probably double down and make things worse for everyone.

[@hl3641]

To the Moooooooonnnnnn

[@frankchen7346]

Definitely. It may not be short term but long term this thing is going to fly!

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

Too many movine parts. What's wrong with a standard helicopter?

[@juliochavez9929]

A standard helicopter makes 2 much noise Joby doesn't Booking a helicopter takes time and it's not that cheap Joby wants to lower down prices by mass production and creating access to users with Uber like features

[@andrewdelacruz-ff2hv]

hurry up guys!!!! China's eVTOL is about to start....

[@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961]

Cool

[@nguxurr9667]

Technology is very important We are held back because of Religion and people wasting their time believing in Fantasy instead of sticking to facts and trying to push the Human to its limit

[@Energine1]

Oh if it were only that simple you sweet little human.

[@ingemar_von_zweigbergk]

4 tilt rotors looks cool, 6 rotors looks ridiculous and will not sell, something to keep in mind

[@andyvalentine1243]

Will not sell? It's not for posing on your driveway...

[@Ben__P]

Niva Zero you WIN the dumbest statement thus far for 2022. But just keep posting and we're all sure you'll surpass it.
