Joby Aviation today announced it has signed an agreement to acquire a manufacturing facility in the Dayton, Ohio area spanning more than 700,000 square feet. The facility, which is ready for immediate use, will initially support Joby’s plans to double production to four aircraft per month in 2027, while also providing space for significant future growth, said the company in a press release. The factory complements Joby’s existing production facilities in California and Ohio, with operations in the new facility expected to begin this year.
“This 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,” said JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation.
In July 2025, Joby announced the completion of an expanded manufacturing facility in Marina, CA and in October, confirmed 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’s site in California hiring is underway to support round-the-clock manufacturing operations, continued the company.
