June 28 (Reuters) - Joby Aviation (JOBY.N) said on Wednesday the U.S. aviation regulator has given the nod for flight testing of its air taxi, as it edges towards securing approval to begin commercial operations. The California-based company also said Toyota North America's CEO, Tetsuo Ogawa, will join its board on Saturday. Joby said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had granted a Special Airworthiness Certificate which allows flight testing of its first production prototype without passengers. The aircraft will be delivered to Edwards Air Force Base after completing initial testing, the company said. The delivery is made under Joby's $131 million contract with the U.S. Air Force.
