“Joby Aviation & The Future of Urban Mobility”
Speakers: Madelyn “Mattie” Baron & Daniel R Santillan
Equipment Design & Software Verification Engineers
Over the past decade, the population of urban areas in the US grew by 9 percent, with 86 percent now living in metropolitan regions --- two trends likely to continue. Concomitant burdens of congestion, combined with carbon emissions in transportation, have created a dire problem in urgent need of solution. Enter: eVTOL --- electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft with zero emissions and greatly reduced noise levels that use electric power to take off, land, and hover vertically. This past August, Santa Cruz, CA-based Joby Aviation became the first US-based eVTOL company to become publicly traded. Its goal is to make aerial ride-sharing and emissions-free flight, new parts of our everyday lives. Following a general overview of eVTOL technology and how it differs from other aircraft, our speakers will detail: specifics of Joby’s approach and operations; how to use eVTOL to get where you want to go; and how it’s likely to transform our cities and improve our lives.
