Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, today announced it is preparing for final assembly of its first conforming aircraft intended for Type Inspection Authorization (TIA) flight tests. TIA flight testing of a conforming aircraft is a convergence of three critical initiatives within Joby that are aligned with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards: 1) relevant test plan approvals, 2) a design that meets FAA standards, and 3) the ability to manufacture the conforming design. Having successfully progressed all three ahead of assembly, including FAA acceptance of more than half of the Company’s test plans, this milestone continues to move Joby into the final stage of FAA certification and closer to commercializing its electric air taxi.
