Joby Aviation ( JOBY ) shares jumped 15.7% in recent Thursday trading after the company said it had flown a hydrogen-electric air taxi 523 miles, with water as the only emission.
The company said the vertical take-off and landing aircraft shows the "potential for hydrogen to unlock emissions-free" air travel without a runway.
The test flight of the liquid hydrogen-powered, six-motor aircraft was completed last month in collaboration with H2FLY, Joby's German subsidiary.
