丰田1月16日宣布，对致力于面向“空中飞行出租车”机身开发的美国企业“Joby Aviation”出资3.94亿美元，正式涉足空中移动业务。两家公司将共享汽车生产和电动化技术，力争实现量产。Joby Aviation正在开发垂直起降的飞行汽车、无人机、小型飞机等等。此项开发力争用于交通拥堵严重的城市上下班等方面需求。据介绍，Joby Aviation电动垂直起降飞机，飞行速度最高可达到每小时约320公里，一次充电后的续航里程超过240公里。因为这款飞机采用了电动传动系统和多旋翼设计，它在起飞和降落时比传统飞机安静100倍，在空中飞行时几乎是无声的。此次投资行为，实际上是丰田对未来空中短途运输（载人/载物）的一次长远布局。丰田社长丰田章男称，空中移动工具的实用化是丰田的长期发展目标。

    Toyota announced on January 16 that it had invested $394 million in "Joby aviation", an American enterprise dedicated to the development of "air taxi" airframe, and formally set foot in the air mobile business. The two companies will share car production and electric technology and strive to achieve mass production. Joby aviation is developing vertical take-off and landing vehicles, drones, small airplanes and so on. The development aims to meet the needs of urban commuters with severe traffic jams. According to reports, the flight speed of Joby aviation electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft can reach up to about 320 kilometers per hour, and the range after one charge is more than 240 kilometers. Because of its electric drive system and multi rotor design, the aircraft is 100 times quieter than the traditional aircraft when it takes off and lands, and almost silent when it flies in the air. This investment is actually Toyota's long-term layout for the future short-distance air transportation (people / cargo). Toyota President Akio Toyoda said the utility of air mobile tools is Toyota's long-term development goal. （文编译/飞行汽 www.feiauto.com）
