Final phase of FAA certification:
Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE: JOBY) has entered the final phase of FAA certification for its electric air taxi, marking significant progress toward commercial service. The company recently conducted its first FAA testing under Type Inspection Authorization (TIA), a critical step where FAA test pilots evaluate aircraft performance, safety, and human factors. This milestone highlights Joby's leadership in the eVTOL industry and the maturity of its testing program.
Joby plans to begin TIA flight testing in 2025 with its first FAA-conforming aircraft, currently under construction in Marina, California. The air taxi, designed to carry a pilot and up to four passengers, offers speeds of up to 200 mph, low noise, and zero emissions.
The company has also completed FAA credit-bearing static load tests on a tail structure, demonstrating readiness for certification. Joby is the first eVTOL manufacturer to complete three of five FAA type certification stages and is over 40% through the fourth stage
