Why Joby selected IFS for its eVTOL aircraft maintenance processes

The electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) market is estimated to be worth $1 trillion by 2030.

While these aircraft are currently in various stages of development, one of the front runners is Joby Aviation, which plans to start commercial operations in 2025. As the California-based transportation company continues its journey to a fully operational fleet, it has selected IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance solution for its eVTOL aircraft maintenance processes.

Capable of supporting Joby’s expansion plans, IFS Cloud for Aviation Maintenance is set to provide an advanced end-to-end maintenance software solution for its eVTOL aircraft across key areas including engineering, records management, operations, and planning. This will help to ensure the “safety and efficiency” of the aircraft and has the flexibility to cater to Joby’s rapidly evolving circumstances.

Matthew Lykins, Aircraft Maintenance Lead, Joby Aviation said:

“At Joby, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing travel with our eVTOL aircraft. Ensuring the seamless operation and maintenance of these aircraft throughout their lifecycle requires an equally innovative software solution. That’s why we have chosen IFS as our trusted partner. The IFS solution offers a robust software foundation that can evolve and adapt to meet our growing needs, from the initial testing and regulatory approval phases to the full-scale operations of Joby aircraft.”

At ATW Europe, Robert Mather, Vice President – Aerospace & Defence Industries, IFS will be exploring the practical applications of AI in aviation maintenance.

Additionally, Advanced Air Mobility will be explored across the event, with Balkiz Sarihan, CEO & Head of UAM, Airbus speaking on paving the way of new means of transportation and Andreas Perotti, CMO Europe, EHang discussing “Developing, certifying, and pushing the boundaries of unmanned eVTOLs.”
