\n\u201cThis site will not only support our near-term plan to double production, it can also serve as a base for significant future growth, as we turn a decade of engineering into the manufacturing scale the market is now demanding,\u201d said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFrom the world\u2019s first aircraft factory to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton has long been the epicenter of aerospace innovation and we\u2019re proud to be building the next generation of flight right here,\u201d Bevirt added<\/b>. \u201cThe reindustrialization of Ohio has become central to Joby\u2019s story and with unmatched governmental and policy support, we\u2019re ready to make sure that the commercial and defense aircraft that define the future of flight are built right here in America.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn July 2025, Joby announced<\/a> the completion of an expanded manufacturing facility in Marina, CA and in October, confirmed<\/a> the start of propeller blade production in Ohio. To support the planned doubling of production, Joby began procurement of the capital equipment required to double manufacturing capacity last month. At Joby\u2019s site in California hiring is underway to support round-the-clock manufacturing operations.<\/p>\n
Ohio Welcomes Joby’s Continued Investment<\/b><\/p>\n
\n\u201cFrom the Wright Brothers to Joby Aviation, Ohio has always been where the future of flight takes shape,\u201d said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine<\/b>. “Joby’s expanded manufacturing presence in Vandalia and the Miami Valley brings together our state’s rich aviation heritage with our world-class advanced manufacturing workforce to build the aircraft that will redefine how people and goods move through our cities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cJoby\u2019s investment in Dayton, bringing thousands of good-paying blue collar jobs back to Ohio, is an incredible testament to Ohio\u2019s long history as a leader in aviation and to the manufacturing renaissance happening all across the states. Thanks to President Donald Trump and private sector leaders like Joby, the United States is finally getting serious about reindustrializing and investing in American jobs after decades of outsourcing and neglect,\u201d said Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio)<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cJoby\u2019s expansion builds on Dayton\u2019s legacy as the birthplace of aviation while shaping the future of flight. This new, more than 700,000 square-foot facility will create new jobs for Ohioans and allow Joby to increase its aircraft production. Ohio remains proud to be a hub for companies investing in innovation. Ohio makes the things the world needs, and Joby\u2019s work is an example of that. I\u2019m excited to see what Joby accomplishes with this new facility and will continue advocating for their success,\u201d said Senator Jon Husted (R-Ohio).<\/b><\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe announcement of the second Joby facility here in Ohio is great news for the Dayton area. Over 5 years ago I worked to ensure the FY22 NDAA included language to allow the Springfield Airport to apply for a program that brought Joby Aviation to our region. I had no doubt that this company would bring high-skill jobs and incredible innovation to our area. Joby Aviation continues to carry on the rich tradition of aviation innovation here in Dayton, Ohio that goes back to the time of the Wright Brothers, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds,\u201d said U.S. Representative Michael Turner (OH-10).<\/b><\/p>\n
\n\u201cAs the world\u2019s leading advanced air mobility company, Joby’s decision to double down in Ohio speaks to the speed at which advanced technologies can scale in our state and the powerful and collaborative environment Team Ohio and the Dayton Development Coalition have built to support growth of emerging industries in the region,\u201d said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef.<\/b> \u201cSince Joby first announced its massive air taxi facility in 2023, it is again demonstrating how this state delivers what companies need to move from innovation to production at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJoby\u2019s manufacturing growth in Ohio comes at a time of significant policy momentum for advanced air mobility (AAM). US Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, recently announced<\/a> a national strategy for advanced air mobility that provides a clear policy roadmap to accelerate AAM deployment and integration. This alignment comes as the Federal Aviation Administration and DOT prepare to deploy the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP)<\/a> in 2026. By validating operational use cases and flight routes across the country ahead of final Type Certification, the eIPP – paired with the strategy\u2019s policy recommendations – enables regulators, local communities, and industry leaders to prepare for the arrival of advanced air mobility.<\/p>\n
