## How DEPLOY assessed this

Joby has not launched commercial passenger service as of July 2026. FAA Type Certification is still in progress. The "as early as 2026" timeline is increasingly unlikely to be met given certification is not complete. https://www.jobyaviation.com/news/joby-completes-submission-of-stage-three-certification-plans-to-the-faa
