ACHR vs. JOBY: Two Bets on the Same Sky Two leading eVTOL players are racing toward commercialization, but only one may deliver scalable urban air mobility.

Archer and Joby just got approval to test eVTOL flights in U.S. cities.
Big question: do they hit profitability before they run out of cash?
Feels like the real race isn’t just tech. It’s runway vs. burn.

Eve continues advancing its flight test campaign, with its engineering prototype having completed 35 flights and accumulated nearly 1.5 hours of total flight time since its first flight in December 2025. The aircraft has reached an altitude of 140 feet above ground level (AGL), equivalent to 43 meters, establishing new program milestones and demonstrating consistent flight behavior under the tested conditions, including maneuvers with simultaneous inputs across three axes. Preliminary results indicate efficiency gains, with propulsion and battery performance above initial expectations, while noise levels remain within projections, significantly lower than those of conventional helicopters. Flights conducted to date have focused on low-speed operations (up to 15 knots, approximately 28 km/h), enabling validation of control laws, rotor aerodynamic efficiency, thermal behavior and the propulsion model. Eve continues to advance its campaign, expanding the flight envelope and testing at higher speeds.

I get that you have to start slowly in testing a completely new aircraft design. But an average test flight duration of less than three minutes over the first 35 operations seems mighty low to me. 🤔

Eve Holding: First Flight Achieved, But The Hardest Part Is Still Ahead Summary Eve Holding remains a speculative 'Buy' after achieving its first eVTOL flight milestone in December 2025. EVEX has $641 million in pro-forma liquidity, covering approximately 2.5 years of projected free cash flow burn. Certification and production ramp-up risks remain significant, with first deliveries realistically expected in 2028–2029.
