Autonomous aviation transforms logistics during AGILE FLAG 24-3 exercise

Craig Milliard, Joby flight test lead, gives a demonstration to Col. Kevin Hicok, 20th Fighter Wing commander, about their autonomous flight capabilities in the Joby ground control station during AGILE FLAG 24-3 at Mojave Air and Space Port, Calif., Aug. 5, 2024. AFWERX Autonomy Prime invited Joby to conduct autonomous flight demonstrations during AGILE FLAG and show Air Force leaders how autonomous aviation can contribute to the Agile Combat Employment, or ACE, concept. ACE is a proactive and reactive operational scheme of maneuver executed within threat timelines to increase survivability while generating combat power. (U.S. Air Force photo/Matthew Clouse)

Air Force pilots reach new program milestones in electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft

The Joby S4 is a five-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. AFWERX Agility Prime announced April 25, 2023, that it has entered into a third extension of its Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract with Joby. The extension enables options for Joby to deliver up to nine of its low acoustic signature, zero-operating emissions S4 aircraft to the Air Force and other government partners. The first two Joby aircraft will be delivered to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., before March 2024. (Courtesy photo)
