Joby Aviation to double aircraft production capacity at California site

Joby Aviation (JOBY) announced the expansion of its site in Marina, California, which will double its aircraft production capacity at that location. The total site now spans approximately 435,500 square feet and will support the scale-up of commercial operations. Joby also expanded its flight test program with the addition of a new aircraft to its growing fleet. Once fully operational, the expanded Marina site is expected to be able to produce up to 24 aircraft per year, which is nearly one every other week. It will also provide capabilities including its initial FAA production certification, conforming ground and flight-testing components, pilot training simulators, and aircraft maintenance.
