Second Quarter 2022 Highlights
- •Certification Progress: We maintained our momentum on type certification, signing a revised G-1 (Stage 4) with the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA").

- •Manufacturing Progress: We completed the tail section of our first production-intent aircraft, and assembly of the wing and fuselage are well underway.
