Air Force eVTOL Research and Development Programs Make Remote Pilot Progress

U.S. Air Force pilots completed remote-controlled flights of Joby Aviation’s S4 electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) prototype aircraft at the company’s California-based facility in April. It was the Air Force’s latest live eVTOL demonstration after airmen performed flights with LIFT’s Hexa at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida in November 2022.
