Joby Aviation has announced plans to double its U.S. manufacturing capacity, a major step toward scaling production of its electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft as demand for advanced air mobility continues to grow.

The expansion is designed to support production of up to four aircraft per month by 2027, significantly increasing Joby’s ability to deliver on a sales pipeline that now exceeds $1 billion. The move reflects growing confidence in the commercial viability of electric air taxis and the company’s readiness to transition from testing to sustained manufacturing.

Joby plans to leverage Toyota’s production expertise across facilities in California and Ohio, applying proven automotive manufacturing principles to aviation. Company leaders say this partnership will help ensure consistent quality, reliability, and scalability as output ramps up over the next several years.

A newly released promotional video highlights Joby’s vision for quiet, high-speed urban air travel, showing how its aircraft could dramatically reduce commute times. The company has emphasized routes such as airport-to-city-center trips that could take minutes instead of hours, positioning air taxis as a practical alternative to congested ground transportation.

The announcement underscores a broader shift in the aerospace sector as electric propulsion, automation, and advanced manufacturing converge. If successful, Joby’s expansion would place the company among the first to produce eVTOL aircraft at meaningful commercial scale, reinforcing its role as a frontrunner in the emerging air mobility market.
