Description: Members from NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign team and Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology team were on site at Joby’s facility located near Big Sur, California, for two weeks completing tests with Joby’s prototype aircraft. With the tests complete, the team is analyzing the collected data. As announced in a recent news release, NASA’s goal is to collect vehicle performance and acoustic data for use in modeling and simulation of future airspace concepts. After the data is analyzed, the test results will also help identify gaps in current Federal Aviation Administration regulations and policies to help incorporate Advanced Air Mobility aircraft into the National Airspace System. nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-begins-air-taxi-flight-testing-with-joby
