Joby Aviation shares were up 8% at $6.69 after the company
delivered its first aircraft to Edwards Air Force Base about six
months ahead of the expected 2024 delivery date.
The company, which develops electric vertical take-off and
landing aircraft for commercial passenger service, said on-base
operations with Joby aircraft will be used to demonstrate a range
of logistics missions, including cargo and passenger
transportation, and will be operated by both Joby and U.S. Air
Force personnel.
In partnership with the U.S. Air Force, NASA will also use the
aircraft for research focused on how these aircraft could fit into
the national airspace, benefiting the entire air taxi industry.
Joby's aircraft, which has already begun flying at Edwards AFB,
is part of Joby's $131 million Agility Prime contract with the U.S.
Air Force. Joby's current and previously completed work with the
Defense Department represents a total potential contract value of
$163 million.
The Agility Prime contract includes the provisioning of up to
nine aircraft to the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies. A
second aircraft is planned to be delivered to Edwards in early
2024.
