The Joby Aviation S4 air taxi 2.0 is a five seat eVTOL (one pilot and four passengers) vectored-thrust aircraft using six tilting propellers which are located on both the fixed wing and its V-tail. Four propellers tilt vertically including its entire motor nacelle, and two of the propellers tilt vertically with a linkage mechanism. The aircraft has large windows for spectacular views and has a tricycle-type retractable wheeled landing gear.
The company reports their aircraft is 100 times quieter than a helicopter during takeoff and landing with a near-silent flyover.
The Joby S4 four passenger eVTOL aircraft was revealed in January 2020 and the first to receive U.S. Air Force airworthiness approval in December 2020.
