UNDER SPACE ACT UMBRELLA AGREEMENT NO. 35648 / SAA2-403660 (ANNEX NUMBER ONE)Non-Reimbursable Space Act Umbrella Agreement • May 31st, 2022
Contract Type FiledMay 31st, 2022This Annex One to the Non-Reimbursable Space Act Umbrella Agreement SAA2-403660 (the “Umbrella Agreement”) between Joby Aero, Inc. (“Joby” or “Partner”) and NASA Ames Research Center (“NASA or “NASA ARC”) shall be for the purpose of collaborating on the development of automated production processes for thermoplastic composite propeller components. The objective of this proof-of-concept work will be to demonstrate that these safety-critical components can be manufactured quickly and more accurately using automated production processes for thermoplastic composite components. NASA and Joby will develop and demonstrate advanced production processes to create thermoplastic composite propeller blade components designed for a future iteration of the Joby S4 eVTOL aircraft. This collaboration will generate an experience base for NASA in the production of thermoplastic composite components for safety-critical aerospace applications and data that can be used in the development of certification c
