Joby Updates Shareholders with Q2 2022 Results

A day after announcing expansion of partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, Joby Aviation updated Shareholders with impressive Q2 2022 results.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Certification Progress: signed a revised G-1 (Stage 4) with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). Under the revised "powered lift" framework, Joby now has nearly three-quarters of the Means of Compliance accepted under the new “powered lift” framework plus three Area-Specific Certification Plans.” Joby formally applied for concurrent validation of their FAA type certification in the U.K.

  • Operational Readiness: received Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate from the FAA, ahead of schedule.

  • Manufacturing Progress: completed the tail section of our first production-intent aircraft, and assembly of the wing and fuselage are well underway.

  • Avionyx Acquisition: the Costa Rica-based aerospace software engineering firm has a 30-year track record supporting type certification programs and supports the scaling of software certification efforts.
