Joby Expands Autonomous Flight Contracts with U.S. Air Force to Nearly $37 Million Following Record Coast-to-Coast Tour
Joby announced expanded U.S. Air Force funding for its autonomous flight technology, bringing total Air Force commitment to nearly $37 million and raising the operational testing contract ceiling to $50 million. The award, through AFWERX, follows Joby's first-ever autonomous coast-to-coast flight: 6,665 miles across 11 states with landings, taxiing, takeoffs, and navigation flown with zero control inputs from the onboard safety pilot. The contracts will fund follow-on Pacific military exercises and expanded autonomy software development, deepening Joby's dual-use defense logistics strategy.
