- Joby has begun procuring capital equipment and hiring for round-the-clock work in California to support the production ramp.
- Federal advanced air mobility efforts, including a national strategy and the planned 2026 eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, are intended to smooth early operations as certification advances.
