They are using LG Motors from a washer machine! 🫢

I forget what it's called, but about 50 years ago I used to have some DC electric motors which had no permanent magnets, but had a DC electromagnet for the stator and a commutator with brushes for the rotor. They could be fed with either polarity for the stator, which allowed for forward or reverse running, or they could be wired with both rotor and stator in parallel, in which case they would only run in one direction. (This latter wiring allowed them to run from a AC supply, if my memory is correct.) First, what are they called? And secondly, are they ever used in EV's? Finally, if they are used, how do they hold up against the Induction and PM motors described here? Thanks.

How boring if you can't even touch it. Looks like some DIY battery.

Yay, can’t wait for all these people with too much money to start littering our sky and soundscape! Just what the world needs right now.

Thanks Sandy and co. The 4860s are cells. All connected together they constitute a battery, in this case 204S4P 800V (nominal) traction battery

Only one plug and socket for the cable, thats zero redundancy.

How much electricity is needed? And what are the environmental impacts?

I love compute systems. I have 2 computes.

I do have to say, I could not work out who was the happiest to be in the video, Sandy, JoeBen or Jon. Thank you Sandy for a deep dive into this high tech leading industry of future flying transportation. A long dream since the days of "The Jestsons" for a lot of us. Stunning content of a high tech company that the world can take a lot from. I now ask "you" as the viewer, what would you want to achieve if you have the best team surrounding and supporting you?

Not sure is there is a market for this. I guess we will find out. Like all things EV, it will come down to batteries not aeronautics

Judging from the onslaught of trolls on all of its video comments boards, JOBY is clearly making the other players/investors in the sector very nervous. Scaring the poop out of them matter of fact. 😊

Have a look at Lilium .

That was a great walk through, some really nice engineering.

I bet they took those straight out of a DJI drone!

OMG ......... HOLY SHIT ....... AMAZING! Sandy we are almost the same age, we meet briefly in Vancouver at the fully charged show, I asked you what Edwards Deming would think about all this. Did you ever think this would exist 40 years ago? 🇨🇦

Over priced and a waist of money

The boomer guy got pissed

The Ti manifold IS welded togeather (billions of pieces of powder at a time)...

As a fan of the human caring drone tech... I don't believe this has any future and is more a money black hole. So may things stack against this bs...

Aerospace grade compute 🤔🤔🤔 lol It’s a raspberry pi 😂

Flight Time: 4 min 37 seconds

As an aeronautical engineer and former test pilot I appreciate the technological tour de force presented here. My question is; for the intended use as short range air taxi, how is this aircraft better than a Robinson R44? Helicopter air taxi has been available for decades with very limited success while utilizing aircraft with robust, certified and inexpensive technology. The Joby business model is predicated on building thousands of aircraft for a price that is quite frankly unrealistic and flying it into areas that have been off-limits to rotary aircraft also for decades.

Nice Had no idea we were at this level of development.

AEROSPACE GRADE COMPUTE SYSTEM 😂😂😂😂😂

Small compute is not impressice imo. It does not take a lot to fly a quadcopter. A tiny microcontroller executes a bunch of stuff in betaflight, ardupilot

Making the analogy to an iPhone computing power is a red herring. How it compares to other avionic computers would be more relevant.

Redundancy has been an integral part of all FAA certified aircraft for 90 years or more, it is not uncommon to find multiple fail-safes in critical systems to keep planes from”falling out of the sky”. In the new battery powered aircraft, the only real challenge is finding batteries with a high energy density and light weight. Weight savings is critical to flight time durations of more than thirty minutes.

Tell me you don't know what you're talking about: "It's made out of aerospace grade compute system"

A lot of fail saves in place.

Why do I feel like this is somehow cutting corners SOMEWHERE. I am curious how many of these aircraft will malfunction, crash, blow up mid air due to stuff going on. Something sounds slightly too good to be true here... only time will tell if this holds up really well or just falls out of the sky😅....

At 18:02 that axle boot will not be lasting very long.

Next is Archer aviation

He is a very large man

What battery chemistry and energy density do those use atm?

That's the future of transportation! Thank you for the video

Another incredible video from Munro! Watch it!

Srupid!!! I bet that gets 5 mpg. I saw one of those riding around, They look better on a LCD screen then in person. It was huge Big and retarted looking, It also took up the whole lane. It was dangerous when I passed it It came really close to my car. THAT THING IS JUNK IT WONT BE AROUND LONG.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\TRUMP 2024\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Yeah this wouldnt make any sense for transportation of people. We want the future to be flying but also efficiënt. Those things dont go together

Do not change man who make intro!!! Thank You for informative video.

Very (pleasantly!) surprised to see a Joby video from Munro, I must say. I totally did not expect that, with Munro's usual focus on the car industry... I've had an eye open for Joby for quite a few years now, I consider their design of craft to be one of the more viable ones, as many VTOL electric craft use separate lift and forward propulsion motors and impellers. So when you're in forward flight mode, you have a whole bunch of extra hardware weighing you down that is of zero use to you, and in fact is impacting your performance negatively, including a multitude of propellers sitting in the airstream causing drag, and while taking off and landing, you of course also have to lift all of the forward flight hardware. This is just straight-up bad design. Not so with the Joby burd. You use the same motors and propellers for both take-off and landings, as well as for forward flight, with a small mechanism to transition between the two modes which in of itself is much lighter than a whole bunch of entirely separate lift motors/inverters and cabling and so on, and doesn't cause any extra drag. It also means take-offs and landings will be much quieter with the Joby's large, slow-spinning propellers than for a craft using dedicated lift motors - because weight and drag is such a concern, the lift propellers can't be too large, so they'll have to spin very fast instead, meaning huge noise at an annoyingly high pitch. It'll be like the world's biggest swarm of industrial vacuum cleaners all running in the same place at the same time, coming in for a landing from up on above, any neighbors and so on are really gonna love that. Not to mention all the people living in a city. lol I expect that all those separate lift motor VTOL designs will be found to be a dead end within not too long, and the industry moving to a unified design instead. Of course, these tiny machines are just rich-man's toys and won't even make a dent in the fossil fuel usage curve. What we really need is fully electrical planes that can take upward of a couple hundred passengers at a time and will displace the kerosene-gulping turbofan engine aircraft we have today on the short to medium haul routes which most people fly.

I'd buy one last year. I'd buy the companies stock.....except they keep playing around and I don't believe they will ever be a real vehicle company. Looks like they will follow the Fisker vehicle off the cliff of could have been to me.

the engine of a 2006 mercedes Bclass also powers aircrafts running on jet fuel for very long distances.

its great but a ford f350 with just 400hp can still tow 21,000lbs which is 10,000lbs more than a 850hp tesla cybertruck.

“Thermal management system” is short for radiator.

The 690 miles is a big seller for me. 300 is not nearly enough. If you're towing 10k or 14k the Ford might go 90 miles while the ram will go over 200 which is way more practical. Especially considering if you do have to charge you'll have to unhook and rehook up the trailer which would be a real pain. I assume when the battery is depleted I can still continue to run on gas which means no hour long charging sessions. This is gonna be a big seller for ram it sounds far superior to any other offerings. Hopefully the price isn't too painful.

So idk if it’s just me or not but they didn’t explicitly say this was dry cathode?

Its so small

Now you just need to hire a "Henry Ford" to mass produce your magnificent product.

Wish I had a dollar for every time he said uh.
