Joby Aviation signed a lease for 45,000 square feet at Alliance Air Trade Center in Haslet, part of Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Located within Hillwood’s 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development, the leased space marks the first significant North Texas presence by an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft manufacturer. The eVTOL is an advanced vehicle that uses electric power to hover, take off, and land vertically like a helicopter. Some are calling it a flying car. It will most likely be used as an air taxi.
Joby is a leading developer of eVTOL aircraft designed for commercial passenger transportation.Â
The new location positions Joby within one of the nation’s most established aviation and logistics platforms.
Perot Field airport is a central component of the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone, a public-private ecosystem that brings together industry innovators, policymakers and infrastructure partners to advance technologies across air and surface mobility.
