Joby to acquire 700,000+ sq ft Dayton plant, targets four eVTOLs per month by 2027

Joby Aviation has signed an agreement to acquire a more-than-700,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in the Dayton, Ohio area, ready for immediate use. Joby says the plant will enable production of four air taxis per month by 2027 and initially support plans to scale output.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The 700,000+ sq ft Dayton facility materially expands Joby's domestic production footprint and underpins its target to reach four air taxis per month by 2027; the plant is ready for immediate use and will accelerate manufacturing scale-up.
  • The move links production capacity to near-term certification and flight-test milestones — complementing Joby’s recent power-on testing of the FAA-conforming S4 and earlier Dayton manufacturing activity, including propeller blade production in Dayton.
  • The acquisition echoes wider OEM capacity investments as developers transition from prototyping to commercial output, similar in scale-setting intent to Boeing’s recent 787 production expansion.
