Today, the FAA will publish the final airworthiness criteria for Joby Aviation’s JAS4-1 eVTOL aircraft.
The publication comes 15 months after Joby’s proposed airworthiness criteria were initially released on the Federal Register in November 2022. The final 130-page document received 46 responses, largely from government agencies, private companies and organisations. Commenters included: EASA, UK CAA, NBAA, BETA Technologies and Volocopter. The document will be published today and is currently downloadable as an unpublished PDF on the Federal Register.
The FAA has made a number of changes to the criteria from the proposed document. However, as first reported by The Air Current, none of these changes require Joby to redesign its aircraft.
