Joby Aviation has selected the IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance solution for its eVTOL aircraft maintenance processes.
IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance will provide Joby Aviation with an advanced end-to-end maintenance software solution for its eVTOL aircraft across key functional areas including engineering, records management, operations, and planning, to support its global expansion plan and ensure the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
Matthew Lykins, Aircraft Maintenance Lead at Joby Aviation, said; “At Joby, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing travel with our eVTOL aircraft. Ensuring the seamless operation and maintenance of these aircraft throughout their lifecycle requires an equally innovative software solution. That’s why we have chosen IFS as our trusted partner. The IFS solution offers a robust software foundation that can evolve and adapt to meet our growing needs, from the initial testing and regulatory approval phases to the full-scale operations of Joby aircraft.”
Scott Helmer, President, Aerospace and Defense at IFS, added; “We are thrilled to be working with Joby to manage the operation and maintenance of one of the world’s most advanced air vehicles. IFS has been closely tracking the growth in Advanced Air Mobility for some time, and the aviation industry-specificity and flexibility of IFS Cloud makes us a perfect fit for organizations that are shaping the future of flight.”
According to Joby, the company continues to lead the way on the development of eVTOL aircraft, launching production in June 2023 and recently completing a series of piloted test flights, including an exhibition flight in New York City.
Joby’s all-electric aircraft has a maximum range of 100 miles and can carry a pilot and four passengers, giving it unparalleled flexibility to serve communities worldwide. Joby plans to start commercial operations in 2025, as it continues its progression from prototype to a fully operational fleet.
