A pair of electric aircraft prototypes landed on the runway at Tampa International Airport (KTPA) on Friday as Florida looks to evaluate a planned aerial highway network.
According to FlightAware, Joby Aviation’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) prototype registered N545JX took off from Albert Whitted Airport (KSPG) in St. Petersburg at 10:01 a.m. EDT and landed at Tampa International (KTPA) 20 minutes later. Per audio captured on the ATC app, the air taxi circled in the Tampa area before entering Class B airspace. It then made a low approach and entered the right downwind to land at Tampa International’s Runway 1R.
