Air taxis are typically powered by batteries and designed to lift off and land like helicopters, but include wings to fly like airplanes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Joby, which is based in Santa Cruz, Calif., said that its electric aircraft is substantially quieter than helicopters or planes. Each can carry one pilot and four passengers and travel as fast as 200 miles per hour and as far as 100 miles, according to the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The delivery is the first under an Air Force contract that Joby said was valued at up to $131 million and gives the government the option to receive up to nine aircraft. The Air Force and Joby will operate the vehicle, but Joby will still own the aircraft and receive both fixed and variable payments for hours flown. NASA, which has a facility at the base, will also conduct research on the vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Air Force has signed similar contracts with other air taxi companies under a program called Agility Prime, part of a broader effort to promote innovation. Agility Prime\u2019s mission is to support development of air taxis and similar technology, giving the Air Force a head start in exploring how it might use such aircraft while also providing financial and testing support to the air taxi companies.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is incredibly valuable for us to be getting to do early operations and to build the operational muscle,\u201d Joby\u2019s chief executive, JoeBen Bevirt, said. The collaboration will help Joby in several ways, including in learning how best to train pilots and maintain and charge aircraft in real-world situations.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Joby and other air taxi companies, including Archer Aviation and Beta Technologies, are separately rushing to get the Federal Aviation Administration to certify their aircraft for commercial flight. All three companies hope to begin commercial service as soon as 2025. The F.A.A. has said it is preparing to support\u00a0<a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/07\/18\/business\/air-taxi-faa.html\">robust air taxi operations by 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But because the agency does not govern aircraft used by the military, air taxi companies have eagerly pursued defense contracts while they work toward F.A.A. approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At Edwards Air Force Base, Joby\u2019s aircraft will be tested as a means to transport cargo and people. The vehicles could also be used to monitor the expansive base or tested to conduct medical evacuations, for example. All told, the Air Force has more than 100 performance measures it wants to evaluate, said Beau Griffith, the deputy lead of Agility Prime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\">\n<div id=\"c-col-editors-picks\" class=\"css-1127xzn\">\n<h2 class=\"css-ohexsw\">Editors\u2019 Picks<\/h2>\n<article class=\"css-5raq8g\">\n<div class=\"css-1rcvpgy\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2023\/09\/25\/fashion\/25WHEEL-UNCOUPLING\/25WHEEL-UNCOUPLING-square640.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp&amp;disable=upscale&amp;width=350\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"css-1p08cbr\">Everyone\u2019s Breaking Up, but Nobody\u2019s Bitter: What\u2019s Going On?<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"css-5raq8g\">\n<div class=\"css-1rcvpgy\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2023\/09\/21\/multimedia\/21FOX-BOOK-01-gtpm\/21FOX-BOOK-01-gtpm-square640.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp&amp;disable=upscale&amp;width=350\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"css-1p08cbr\">Julia Fox Gets Dirty to Come Clean<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"css-5raq8g\">\n<div class=\"css-1rcvpgy\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2023\/09\/25\/multimedia\/25WELL-SKINCARE-FALL2-clwf\/25WELL-SKINCARE-FALL2-clwf-square640-v2.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp&amp;disable=upscale&amp;width=350\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"css-1p08cbr\">How to Take Care of Your Skin in the Fall and Winter<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"css-8atqhb\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBearing out the promise of these vehicles is the program\u2019s goal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">NASA will work closely with the military and Joby in testing the aircraft, with the aim of using its research to guide air taxi development and support the F.A.A. Starting next year, NASA pilots and researchers will explore how Joby\u2019s vehicle would operate in a typical city environment, examining flight procedures and how it could interact with air traffic control and local infrastructure. Joby\u2019s aircraft is expected to remain at the base for at least a year, and the company has plans to deliver another in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other leading air taxi companies have similar partnerships.
