Joby Aviation and Air Space Intelligence (ASI) have announced a new partnership that aims to accelerate the integration of advanced air mobility (AAM) into the United States National Airspace System.
The two companies plan to work together to advance how scaled of eVTOL operations can be integrated into high-traffic airspace.
Building on ASI’s Flyways AI Platform, which utilises high-fidelity 4D modelling to optimise flight operations, the two companies are expected to host a number of live operational exercises later this year.
The partnership will also aim to explore the ways in which more automated, software-defined approaches to airspace coordination might allow for increasingly autonomous flight operations.
Greg Bowles, Chief Policy Officer, Joby Aviation, said:America has long set the global standard for aviation, and modernizing our airspace is key to maintaining that leadership.
By combining Joby's operational capabilities with ASI's advanced AI-driven Flyways platform, we're helping build the intelligent infrastructure needed to integrate electric air taxis seamlessly into the NAS — one of America's most important national assets.
Results from the partnership’s live operational exercises are expected by the end of 2026.
Joby was recently involved in a series of proposals chosen by the US government as part of the Advanced Air Mobility and Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) Integration Pilot Program (eIPP).
