Breaking News that Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation Investors cannot afford to miss | Motley fool

Undoubtedly, Yob Aviation (Yeah 19.03%) Investors carefully focus on seeing whether a company with vertical take -off and landing (EVTOL) with a vertical take -off (EVTOL) receives the required Federal Aviation Certificates (FAA).

However, this does not mean that there are other innovations that can increase the spirits of investors. Joby has justified, for example, a new cooperation with Aerospace and Defense Specialist L3Harris Technology (Lhx -0.10%) That both investors and Archer Aviation (Achr 8.25%) Investors will want to know everything.

An agreement you can afford to let the flying under the radar

New dance partners Joby Aviation and L3Harris Anddedes that they are working on the development of EVTOL hybrid aircraft for defense. The aircraft that is suitable for low height operations will have the option of piloting or flying autonomously. Given that the test flights are expected to start in the coming months, both companies focus on demonstrations of aircraft for the government in 2026.

Referring to the market opportunity for defense and praise of partnership, Joeben Bevirt, founder and CEO, Joby Aviation, said:

Over the last decade, we have worked closely with the Ministry of Defense to provide them with the front row seat for the development of our two -compartment technologies and now we are ready to prove and deploy it.

Joba’s experience in exploring defensive solutions exceeds randomly announced partnerships with L3Harris. In 2020, World Jobhy World with the United States Air Force, he led to the approval of flight capacity from the military branch – the first for Evtol. The ability to fly on the base and access to government testing facilities was assisted by Joby with the development of its aircraft because it seeks to start commercial operations.

The aim of Archer is also to develop a solution to defense

Joby is definitely not the only one who focuses on expanding the scope of its operations beyond civil air tax services, Archer Aviation is another among the developers of EVTOL aircraft, which focuses on defense. Like Joby, Archer has worked with the Ministry of Defense (DOD) for the last few years to explore its aircraft for defense operations.

After the start of its cooperation in 2021, Archer fulfilled a new contract – worth up to $ 142 million – with the US Air Force “to assess the potential of vertical market flight and Evtol Technologies for DOD Purposses” in 2023.

In addition to working with DOD, Archer, he also demonstrated his interest in the defensive sector last year when he announced a partnership with Andundil, a defense that focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into his own. Like Joby and L3Harris, Archer and Andundil, they plan to develop a hybrid aircraft VTOL, which follows defensive operations.

Since Joby finds a new kopilot in L3Harris, is it time to buy shares?

In the throat and neck plant, to first get their aircraft Evtol on the market, Joby and Archer, combined, are a very face of the growing Evtol market, and while civilian air taxi is often the most common discussion, most often committed to defense industry.

To avoid investors Jobs do not overcome that the company has a foot on Arger due to the new L3Harris agreement, it is important to recognize Archer partnership with Andundil and vice versa. Those who thought that Archer was alone in his ambitions to provide defense solutions again.

It is also important to realize that Evtol signs agreements with the main suppliers of defense, there is no game with zero sum. Given that the US defense budget increased to more than $ 1 trillion in 2026, there is no doubt that for Job and Archer they are prospering them on the defense market – even this does not take into account the possibility of selling NATO Allies.
