Joby's New Quiet Aircraft Is A Total Game Changer

About this video

Max explores Joby Aviation’s electric air taxi technology, explaining how the company has engineered an aircraft that is significantly quieter than helicopters while offering 200 mph cruise speeds and zero emissions. He describes both the civilian application—reducing urban travel time by bypassing traffic—and the military interest, where Max explains that Joby’s quiet, low-thermal-signature aircraft and autonomous systems are being tested for contested logistics missions. Max positions this as a generational shift in aviation comparable to the jet engine or helicopter.

Key takeaways

• Max explains that Joby’s electric air taxi operates at about 45 decibels at altitude, roughly 100 times quieter than a helicopter, enabling urban operations without disturbing cities below
• The company is in final FAA certification stages and Max notes they’re partnering with major players like Toyota, Delta, and Uber to launch passenger services as early as 2025-2026 in multiple U.S. markets
• Max describes how the U.S. military has been testing Joby’s technology for years, developing hybrid and autonomous versions for contested logistics where quiet operation and low thermal signatures provide tactical advantages
