Joby Aviation will host aviation regulators from around the world at its manufacturing and flight testing facilities in #Marina, #California, as part of ongoing international #certification efforts. The week-long session, known as a ‘technology familiarisation’, is a formal part of the process of validating an aircraft’s type design for use in international markets. During the session, regulators from three countries — each of which have existing bilateral aviation safety agreements with the Federal Aviation Administration — will engage with Joby team members and technology, as well as FAA staff, to support the continued harmonisation of certification approaches for electric air taxis around the world. Attendees include personnel from the Civil Aviation Authority, Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) and Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority, all of which represent nations where Joby has applied for validation of its FAA type certificate, once received. https://ow.ly/XeGB50TT7M8 #evtolinsights #jobyaviation #advancedairmobility #electricaviation #airtaxi #evtol #usa

Lilium has announced its principal German subsidiaries will apply for self-administration proceedings in the next few days with the competent court in the country. In an announcement released yesterday (Thursday), this follows a lengthy and complex government approval process for a loan from KfW, which failed in the Budget Committee of the German parliament. German government support of the KfW loan was a closing condition to already committed private funding and without this support, Lilium was left with no alternative but to cause the principal German subsidiaries to file for self-administration. The company was also unable to reach an agreement in principle with the Bavarian government to guarantee a €50 million loan. Directly impacted by the filing are Lilium GmbH and Lilium eAircraft GmbH. Lilium said plans for affected stakeholders and the operational implementation of the necessary measures will be shared in the coming days after the filing and related procedures have been launched. Lilium’s international competition is receiving grants and loans in the USA, France, China, Brazil, and the UK. Therefore, German government support was seen by Lilium investors as critical to retain market confidence and potential future investment. https://ow.ly/EY7350TT5OY #evtolinsights #lilium #germany #europe #regionalairmobility #evtol #airtaxi #funding #investment
