What Happened

Electric air taxi company backed by Toyota and the US Air Force. Promised flying taxis by 2024 but still hasnt carried a single paying passenger. Pre-revenue company valued at $6.6B.

Joby Aviation merged with Reinvent Technology Partners in August 2021 at a $6.6B valuation. The company is developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft — essentially flying taxis. Toyota invested $394M, and the US Air Force awarded a contract. But FAA certification has taken far longer than promised. Originally targeting commercial service by 2024, the company is now targeting 2025-2026 at earliest. It has zero revenue and burns $100M+ per quarter. Joby is one of two major eVTOL SPACs alongside Archer Aviation.
