.@joeben to @JTLonsdale on the hype surrounding @jobyaviation's hybrid aircraft for defense applications: "Hydrogen is a game changer across the aviation ecosystem... It's three times the specific energy of jet fuel. And with fuel cells, we can convert that into propulsion twice as efficiently." Joe Lonsdale: We've been hearing rumors leaking out of the Pentagon. People are very excited. You guys announced the fact that it's hybrid aircraft. What can you tell us? JoeBen Bevirt: We flew a hydrogen electric version of our VTOL aircraft more than 500 miles. And we think that hydrogen is a game changer across the aviation ecosystem. It's three times the specific energy of jet fuel. And with fuel cells, we can convert that into propulsion twice as efficiently. Joe Lonsdale: So it's 6X. Wow. JoeBen Bevirt: If you want to build an aircraft that flies long distances, or flies for a long period of time.... Joe Lonsdale: Seems like a much better deal. Why aren't others doing this already? JoeBen Bevirt: We've cracked the secret sauce of it.

$ACHR $JOBY $HOVR $EVTL $BETA With the recent success of not just flight miles logged yet also getting a firm order of 25 CTOL ALIA aircraft Tell me if and why the performance of N703AX has worried you - with also ground testing of N704AX underway?!!? Both companies also have a Defense Advisory Board too!

To realize the full potential of Advanced Air Mobility, we need a new operating system for the sky. Joby is proud to announce a strategic partnership with @AirSpaceIntel. By integrating Joby’s operational capabilities with ASI’s Flyways AI Platform, a high-fidelity 4D modeling system, we're building the predictive framework necessary to manage high-density eVTOL operations within the FAA's Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS).

Our CEO @JoeBen is back on @AmOptimistShow with longtime friend and investor @JTLonsdale for another deep dive into the future of flight. Our excitement for AI is often discussed internally, but rarely do we share how this technology is poised to accelerate Joby's long-term vision. From unlocking years of "backlog" ideas in a single afternoon to enabling 10x productivity for the world's best aerodynamicists, AI is the ultimate force multiplier for our vertical integration. As JoeBen puts it: it’s about making the "superhuman" possible. Watch the full episode ⬇️

“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.” @joeben took Peter Thiel's words personally. And thanks to JoeBen & @jobyaviation, we're about to get flying cars! [Albeit, speaking of 140 characters, X is also not bad]. AO Episode 114 out now.

Great visit to the Sunshine State celebrating 100 years of @erau_eagles, marking a century of shaping future leaders, advancing education, and driving innovation in aviation. While visiting I also had productive conversations with @GovRonDesantis and @FDOT_Secretary about Florida’s eIPP initiative and how we will work together to invest in advanced aviation technologies. Partnerships like these turn vision into action and build a more innovative future for the next generation.

We’ve made strong progress - from key piloted flight milestones and advancing transition testing to launching Valo. Today, we’re announcing a comprehensive financing package of up to $850 million to support the next phase of the business. That includes $50 million of equity raised today, with a further $30 million expected shortly - giving us approximately $160 million available in the near term to deliver key certification milestones through 2026. Now the focus is simple: execution - starting with transition. Finance package breakdown: vertical-aerospace.com/wp-content/upl…
