Joby Aviation

Now that the FAA is changing the path for electric air taxi certification, manufacturers, industry veterans, and a former FAA official weigh in.

Leaders from Airbus, Beta, Boeing, Blade, Joby, Wisk, and Volocopter are meeting in Bentonville for the annual UP.Summit.

Uber-backed Joby Aviation has received a Part 135 air carrier certificate from the FAA, authorizing it for on-demand commercial air taxi operations with conventional aircraft.

Uber-backed electric air taxi developer Joby Aviation told investors Thursday it expects no delays as a result of the FAA’s modified regulatory approach to type certification. In the company’s quarterly earnings conference call, Joby reported a $62.3 million net loss in Q1 2022, an increased loss of $20.8 million compared to the same period last year.

In a move that the FAA says will not “add delay” to completing type certification, the agency says it is “modifying its regulatory approach” to certificating electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

Influential financial heavyweight Deutsche Bank (NYSE; DB) says the eVTOL industry is ripe for disruption, singling out Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) as a stock to buy.

The California-based electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi developer reports significant progress toward certification and ends a test flight pause.
