In partnership with joby aviation college, a delaware public benefit corporation and part 61 pilot school (and part 141 applicant), and joby aero, an evtol (electric vertical takeoff and landing) manufacturer, joby elevate will develop the curricula and programs necessary to accomplish the project objectives.
