I’d really like to know if JOBY has ever flown the S4 aircraft fully loaded with ballast equal to the weight of four passengers plus Luggage. So far it seems they’ve only flown it either empty or with one human pilot onboard. Im waiting for news of pilot+4 passengers +stated weight of luggage before buying any more Joby stock.
Fair point. But: Is the to be expected range decrease with payload really that critical? Empty weight of the S4 is 4000/4500 pounds. Max payload is 1000 pounds. Range already proven (probably empty but we dont know): 155 miles. So even if the 25 % more weight leads to 25 % less range (probably accurate for helicopter style flight, probably less for the plane like flight) this would mean 116 miles fully loaded. That‘s enough for the business cases I see.
Already done in Shenzhen China... There are two commercial services in operation now. Xpeng and Uhang. And neither aircraft costs more than $500k USD to purchase.
As close as we were 100 years ago. Never happening Zero feasibility equals zero adoption If you want to open an IPO you need Mass adoption. Because let's be real when you open an IPO you're paying back your investors. Just ask yourself how will this process proceed in a highly populated dense area You're not coming to my HOA The Uber can come to my HOA So where is the adoption to produce Mass production to bring it to a level of profit. On top of that a single catastrophic failure would collapse the entire sector.
If they can take 1000lb 100 miles they should make an unedited video carrying 500lbs 20 miles. A demo like that would multiply their stock price immediately. I doubt they can.
LMAOOO...oh my goodness you're still commenting on joby videos. How come you have no opinion about Archer aviation? I see your name under every joby video asking the same question
@OfHolding It's a free country so you can comment on joby. I'm just curious why your so obsessed specifically with Joby.? When they're other evtol companies as well. U keep asking about unediting videos..etc. I'm curious what you think about other evtol companies?
Comprehensive content and very well explored. Congratulations 👏🏻

@marcelwestermann8273 that range isn't really proven. Where is the proof? Just their word? They should show a 20 mile empty flight at least.
Drone radio what is your feeling on autonomous evtol for taxi? When and challenges?

Why only one photograph
Meanwhile if you live in Shenzhen China you can already jump on an AUTONOMOUS air taxi service.

@PeterParker-wj3cr yeah so?

@@PeterParker-wj3cr I think they are scams if they say they can carry people places somewhere right now.
@@PeterParker-wj3cr I think they are all the same if they claim they can transport people somewhere with current batteries.
