eVTOL aircraft like this five-seater from Joby Aviation will be vastly quieter and cheaper than helicopters

California’s Joby Aviation has released a new video showing a "complete flight profile" of its eVTOL air taxi, and also announced its plans to create (and profit from) a new carbon credit trading system similar to the one that has kept Tesla profitable for some time.

These carbon credits were introduced by governments worldwide to incentivize automakers to reduce emissions on their fossil-fueled vehicles and invest in clean electrics. If they can't, they can buy credits from other companies that have some excess credits (since Tesla only makes electrics, it gets to sell all its credits).

Joby Aviation is a California-headquartered transportation company developing and manufacturing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing aircraft which is intended to operate as a commercial passenger aircraft beginning in 2024.

Joby Aviation has been working on electric VTOL aircraft longer than just about anyone. Their prototype has flown thousands of test flights and was one of the first to receive military airworthiness. They own Uber Elevate. They have more investment money behind them than anyone else in the game, as well as a key partnership with Toyota. And they've already started signing infrastructure deals that will put vertiports on top of multi-storey car parks in key launch cities across the United States. They're at the top of the AAM Reality Index for good reason.

So, what is happening now?

Since it doesn't yet exist in the aviation world, they've partnered with JetBlue Airways and Signature Flight Support to "define the framework for the creation, validation and eventual use" of an aviation carbon market that will "include the generation of credits for flights powered by green electric and hydrogen propulsion technologies."

Joby has also just released a video of a "complete flight profile" for its air taxi. It does give an excellent overview of just how smooth the takeoff, hover, transition to winged forward flight, slow down and vertical landing process will be.

The Joby aircraft's six rotors all tilt forward in a vectored thrust configuration to achieve high-speed horizontal winged flight. These eVTOLs can hover extremely quietly compared to helicopters.
