Joby Aviation, a leader in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has recently acquired Xwing, a pioneering company in autonomous flight technology. This strategic acquisition positions Joby to advance its efforts in developing fully autonomous, zero-emission aircraft, further solidifying its leadership in the next generation of air mobility.



Xwing is known for its groundbreaking work in autonomous aviation, particularly in developing technology that enables aircraft to operate without a human pilot onboard. By integrating Xwing's technology with Joby's eVTOL aircraft, the combined expertise aims to accelerate the development of autonomous flight capabilities, making air transportation safer, more efficient, and accessible.


The acquisition is seen as a significant move towards realizing the future of autonomous urban air mobility, where eVTOLs can operate independently, providing a scalable solution to urban congestion and reducing the environmental impact of air travel.
