Joby Aviation and Air Space Intelligence (ASI) have partnered to prepare U.S. airspace for scaled electric air taxi operations. ASI's Flyways AI platform, built on its PRESCIENCE 4D digital twin system, will be used to simulate high-density eVTOL traffic and provide predictive coordination tools for air traffic controllers. Live operational exercises are planned for 2026, aligned with Joby's commercial launch timeline and the FAA's $32.5 billion air traffic control overhaul (BNATCS). The partnership aims to generate real-world data that could shape FAA standards for all future eVTOL operators, positioning both companies to influence how AI-assisted airspace management is governed in safety-critical environments.
