Joby Aviation is having a busy week under the White House's eIPP initiative. In Texas, the company launched its first commercial eVTOL flights, ferrying passengers between Fort Worth and DFW International Airport. Meanwhile, a separate autonomous Cessna Caravan began a ten-state road trip to show off freight and emergency-response chops, suggesting Joby is betting on more than just short urban hops.
Joby Aviation expanded its U.S. Air Force autonomous flight contract to nearly $37 million, a boost that followed the company's first autonomous coast-to-coast flight — a Cessna Caravan flown 6,665 miles across the country. The military win coincided with Joby's third-quarter 2026 earnings, in which it raised full-year revenue guidance 15% after completing first test flights in Florida and Texas under a White House-backed air-taxi program.
