Founded in 2009, Joby Aviation has been a trailblazer in developing zero-emission eVTOL aircraft designed to transform urban and regional air mobility. The company’s mission to deliver clean, quiet, and efficient transportation reached new heights with its 500+ mile hydrogen-electric vertical flight, demonstrating the immense potential of hydrogen propulsion to reduce aviation’s carbon footprint.
Key to this success was H2FLY, Joby’s subsidiary specializing in hydrogen fuel cell technology. H2FLY’s expertise in developing liquid hydrogen systems enabled this record-setting flight. With water vapor as the only emission, Joby’s achievement proves the viability of hydrogen-electric systems for long-range, zero-emission regional flights.
Raffaele Nicholas Russo: Driving Hydrogen eVTOL
At the forefront of this breakthrough is Raffaele Nicholas Russo, who leads Joby’s development of new technologies like hydrogen propulsion. Russo brings a wealth of experience from his work at Tesla, Ferrari Formula 1, and UP Partners (also an investor in Beta Technologies), where he contributed to innovations in advanced mobility.
Since joining Joby, Russo has focused on integrating hydrogen-electric propulsion systems into the company’s eVTOLs, paving the way for cleaner, more sustainable air travel. His insights and leadership have been pivotal in realizing Joby’s ambitious vision for the future of aviation.
