Nope. It's done lots of flights.
'Since completing a landmark first full transition flight with a pilot
onboard on April 22, 2025, the Company has completed multiple transition
flights with three different pilots at the controls, as Joby becomes the
first company to routinely perform inhabited testing of an electric air
taxi from hover to wingborne flight.'
'Dubai Flight Testing: Joby completed 21 full-transition flights in a
multi-week campaign in Dubai this summer to validate commercial
readiness. The campaign validated several aspects of commercial market
readiness in real-world conditions, spanning maintenance, logistics,
aircraft capabilities and infrastructure.'

After all, you expect me to look up such stuff even when you won't
produce actual quotes, right, loser?
