09:58 AM EDT, 09/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Joby Aviation ( JOBY ) said Friday it plans to participate in the White House eVTOL integration pilot program.

The program will allow electric vertical takeoff and landing services like passenger transport, cargo delivery, and medical response ahead of achieving US Federal Aviation Administration type certification, the company said.

Joby said it was well-positioned to deliver as it has validated its vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and conducted flight tests across five countries. The company added that it was in the late stages of the FAA type certification process and was preparing to ramp up production capacity.

The pilot projects would be selected in the next 180 days, Joby said.

Joby shares were up past 9% in recent trading Friday.
