Today we issued our third quarter financial results. You can read our full Letter to Shareholders here.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Acoustic Testing with NASA: We became the first company to fly an electric aircraft as part of NASA’s National Campaign, providing a key opportunity for the agency to analyze our aircraft’s low noise profile.
  • 154-Mile Flight: We completed what we believe to be the longest ever eVTOL flight on a single charge, as part of our ongoing flight test campaign.
  • First Steps to Commercial Service: We began the process to receive a Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate, which is required to commence revenue-generating passenger flights.
  • Completion of SPAC Merger: We began trading on the New York Stock Exchange through our merger with Reinvent Technology Partners (“RTP”).

Strong Financial Foundation

At the end of the third quarter, we had $1.4 billion in cash and short-term investments to support our operations.

Net Loss

Third quarter net loss of $78.9 million reflected growth in engineering, certification and early manufacturing activities as well as the revaluation of SPAC-related warrants and earn-out shares.
