Joby Aviation says it has completed a range of testing for FAA certification credit during the fifth and final stage of its electric air taxi’s type-certification process.
In its November 4 quarterly update, the company also reported that 17 aircraft were in production following an increase in manufacturing output. The announcement describes progress toward certification; it does not announce that the aircraft has received its type certificate.
Joby said it had completed its first flights in Texas and Florida through the federally backed eVTOL Integration Pilot Program. Those demonstrations form part of its preparations for introducing electric air taxi operations in early U.S. markets.
For the third quarter, Joby reported $55 million in revenue, primarily generated by its Blade business. Blade carried more than 44,000 passengers during the period. That revenue should not be confused with sales from commercial electric air taxi service.
The company raised its full-year revenue outlook to between $135 million and $140 million. It reported $2.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at September 30.
Joby said its current spending outlook includes aircraft certification, manufacturing expansion and preparations for commercial operations.
