eIPP Proposals for Joby, Archer, Beta

Updated recently with North Carolina and Utah proposals.

Although we have yet to see the details for most of their proposals, here are the states where they are located and what we know. If someone has more knowledge of them, please comment.

Joby Aviation–backed state/city applications

• Texas - Dallas - Everyone named in their proposal - [ https://www.reddit.com/r/Joby/s/T36eLSbQXv ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Joby/s/T36eLSbQXv)

• California

• Florida

• New York

• North Carolina gave an overview of its eIPP proposal, focusing on connecting the state's medical networks and especially rural areas (since the OBBB gutted Medicaid especially for rural hospitals and clinics) and for disaster relief (since FEMA is also being gutted). First phase focuses on setup, 2nd phase scale with cargo (probably Beta) and experimental  EVTOL (Joby), and phase 3 scale up Joby. Also will use Joby’s Superpilot for autonomous flight with the Cessna Grand Caravan.

• Utah teamed up with Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Oklahoma for a proposal, using Joby and Beta aircraft.

The projects span both passenger and cargo eVTOL operations

Archer Aviation–backed city applications – Archer stated it submitted eIPP applications with multiple cities across:

It was the sole manufacturer applying with Huntington Beach, California, near Hawthorne Municipal Airport, which Archer acquired.

Beta:

• Hawaii - Surf Air Mobility’s Mokulele Airlines, the largest commuter airline in Hawaii, included Beta's ALIA in their eIPP

• Ohio Region - Was named in the Ohio region’s eIPP proposal for medical transportation, for long haul of medical supplies. Will use Alia aircraft.

• Minnesota - Minnesota’s eIPP proposed using multiple different electric airplanes including AmpAir’s Caravan and using Beta’s chargers. Did not include Beta’s plane though
