Sounds promising. $SPCE It’s time to show some appreciation to the investors. Stock buybacks or 💰 dividends.

Wow, this is really impressive. More than what I was expecting. Too many funny people say you’re a fake company but guess their short positions are going to take a beating 🤣. Keep up the good work! All in! @richardbranson @chamath

Staff Flight Test Engineer Simon Hedderman takes us inside the Archer telemetry trailer, the data center behind our flight test operations. While the pilot operates the aircraft, our team monitors from the telemetry trailer, gathering holistic aircraft data like engine temperatures, airspeed, and battery levels. Each part of the aircraft is represented, with members from the battery, engine, propellor, flight control systems, guidance navigation & controls, and flight test instrumentation teams gathering data and monitoring real-time performance during flight. This test data helps to validate aircraft performance across mission profiles, supporting safe flights and preparing us for public operations.

The Joby electric air taxi is available to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, so we put together an overview of how to fly the aircraft using one of our planned service routes as an example: JFK Airport to Downtown Manhattan (JRB). In this video, Joby software engineer and private pilot William Shen explores the Joby aircraft's unique design and flight controls, its implementation into MSFS 2024, and offers some tips and tricks for pilots to enjoy flying the aircraft in-game.

“Without avionics, the spaceship doesn’t do very much. It’s the nervous system of the vehicle.” Behind every Virgin Galactic flight lies a symphony of sensors, wiring, and data, transforming thousands of signals into information our pilots can trust. Watch how avionics brings our spacecraft to life in episode 7 of We Build SpaceShips.

To validate the design of the "Mirage IIIV" VTOL fighter, a demonstrator named Balzac V was built in 1962. It was equipped with innovations such as Dassault's first electric flight controls and the use of telemetry to communicate flight data in real time with the ground.

Destacking of the vehicle access tower is complete. We removed the top six modules to begin integrating fluids and controls as part of our new ConOps. This includes adding cryo systems, pneumatics, and mechanisms. We’ll also add in floors for access before we begin re-stacking. This allows us to work in parallel, keeping with our return-to-flight timeline.

XB-1 Flight Two was a massive success: gear extended/retracted airborne for the first time, stability issues from Flight One confirmed resolved. No major issues uncovered. Geppetto did a great job at the controls—and we're accelerating Flight Three—likely in a month or so.

We’ve entered the next phase of our flight test program, showcasing piloted Midnight flight, as well as CTOL capabilities. The piloted flight featured a conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) demonstrating the robustness of Midnight’s landing gear which is capable of performing both vertical and conventional take-off and landing operations. Through our design and certification process, our team, government regulators and our customers, both civil and defense, have identified the importance of being able to conduct both vertical and conventional take-off and landing as part of normal operation of the aircraft as having CTOL capabilities in addition to VTOL provides operational flexibility and enhanced safety. Watch the full flight as Midnight cruises at speeds of up to 125 mph and reaches a maximum altitude of over 1,500 feet above ground level with Archer Chief Test Pilot, Jeff Greenwood, at the controls.
