"Joby, in my opinion is doing everything correctly to achieve certification. Moving with purpose. Sometimes this is a slow process. For good reasons. Joby and their partners, Toyota, Delta, DOD and UAE... seems to compromise a very solid foundation. The ownership, engineers and staff seem to be excellent. Cash management seems to be on a glidepath to realistically achieve the goals of the company. Really not much to dislike. Most infrastructure is in place or fairly easily established. The transition to
pilotless flight and personal (the holy grail)use could be fairly smooth. Not a technical or hardware problem. Just the will of government to adopt a practical plan for low altitude flight. Will Joby replace the family car. Probably not. But for a sizeable few it will supplement their current form of transportation. "
"Joby has submitted many patents. I didn't know this until last night, but more than one of the patents is for their seat design. You heard me right: seats. Each seat can weigh the passenger. Below each seat is a ballast, presumably filled with battery coolant. The ballast is used to balance the plane to optimize flight based on each passenger's weight. Coolant is moved from one side to the other to equalize the weight.
Another cool patent is related to the vertiports and lighting (they have several of these). The perimeter of each landing zone consists of lights to assist with night landings. When the square is red, it means an eVTOL has occupied that zone. When the square is green, the zone is open."
"JOBY is clearly ahead of the competition on every level: certification progress, capitalization, industry partners, manufacturing process and advanced engineering. One example that illustrates JOBY'S superiority in very simple terms is the aircraft weight and payload. The JOBY S4.2 has an empty weight of 4300 pounds with a useful load of 1000 pounds and max takeoff weight of 5300 pounds. The Archer Midnight has an empty weight of 6000 pounds with the same useful load of 1000 pounds and 7000 pounds max takeoff weight. So the Archer is 1700 pounds or almost 40% heavier than the JOBY to carry the exact same payload. I don't think there's a better example than this as to JOBY'S prowess in this sector and that no other competitor can hold a candle to what JOBY has already accomplished not to mention what's about to happen over the next few years.
