The two seater aircraft can reach 200 miles per hour and is powered by lithium nickel cobalt manganese batteries. It has a unique appearance, like a car specially designed for 007. But in fact, this private plane will be able to change the way we travel, vacation, work and errands.

"If we can develop a quiet, safe and efficient private plane that allows you to travel at five times the speed of road traffic, our life will change dramatically," said JoeBen Bevirt, CEO and founder of Joby Aviation. "It will have a revolutionary impact."

This aircraft is equipped with 16 electronic thrusters, 12 of which are used for vertical takeoff and landing, which means that it can take off and land without a runway. These 12 large thrusters can tilt forward to maintain the balance of the fuselage and achieve vertical takeoff and landing.

This technology has recently been verified on the prototype of NASA's electric aircraft "Lightning" GL-20 'Greased Lightning. However, when the Joby S2 aircraft reaches the cruise speed, these 12 thrusters will fold up and become aerodynamic bullet shaped, and their positions will be replaced by four thin rotors.

"We put these thrusters in the front of the wings, which increases the dynamic pressure on the wings. In this way, the wings of our aircraft are small, but the efficiency is improved," Bevelt explained.

If we take off and land on the runway instead of taking off and landing vertically, the range will be greatly increased. In addition, since the aircraft is connected to an electric motor, when it stops on the ground, it can use the ambient wind to power the battery.

The aircraft's wingtip and tail wing are also equipped with fixed pitch propellers that are most conducive to cruise.

According to the company's estimate, the cost of this aircraft is about 200000 dollars (about 1.28 million yuan). Because it is completely powered by batteries, the operating cost of this aircraft will be only a small part of that of traditional helicopters. The Joby S2 aircraft needs 5 times less energy than the traditional automatic transport equipment, so it is an environmentally friendly aircraft. At the same time, its speed is 5 times faster than the general traffic
