Ohio is set to begin manufacturing hundreds of cutting-edge vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft under an agreement with electric aircraft maker Joby Aviation.

Gov. Mike DeWine announced the billion-dollar agreement in a speech alongside state leaders and executives on Sept. 18 where he praised Ohio as the “birthplace of aviation.”
