Is Joby Aviation Stock a Buy Now?

Joby Aviation is developing electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft as flying taxis to reduce urban traffic congestion. The company's battery-powered aircraft are significantly quieter than traditional helicopters (55 dB vs 90 dB) and produce zero emissions. However, Joby faces significant hurdles including obtaining FAA type certification and proving safety and reliability before commercial operations can begin. The stock remains highly speculative with no meaningful revenue, but analysts project the urban air mobility market could reach $9 trillion by 2050.
