Our strategy for scaling up manufacturing mirrors how we’ve approached aircraft development: prove out the concept first, and learn quickly through testing before making larger investments.

That’s why – in partnership with Toyota – we designed and built our pilot production line in Marina, CA, before investing in a larger factory. By dry-running our tooling and processes, we’ve been able to optimize our production and improve the manufacturability of our aircraft.

By making the right investments at the right stage of our development, we’re taking the most efficient path to high-rate production of our aircraft.

We recently announced plans to build our first scaled eVTOL factory in Dayton, Ohio, investing up to $500 million and creating up to 2,000 jobs in the region with an annual production of up to 500 aircraft.
