@interestingengineering: Joby Aviation is set to fly its all-electric air taxi from St. Petersburg across Tampa Bay on 30 October 2026, retracing the route of the world's first scheduled airline, which Tony Jannus flew in a Benoist flying boat on 1 January 1914. The St. Pete flight opens the Florida leg of Joby's Electric Skies tour, with Orlando next on 2 November, while the Florida Department of Transportation leads one of eight projects in the federal eVTOL Integration Pilot Program.
