If this were a horse race, Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) and Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) would be pretty much neck and neck down the final stretch. But it's not a horse race: It's instead a race to launch a viable air taxi service using electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft .
Both companies' designs are being evaluated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Both are planning to launch overseas operations . Both are partnering with heavy hitters in the aviation, ride-hailing, and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, including Nvidia .
And last week, both got a big boost from the Trump administration -- but one got a bigger prize. Here's how this could tip the playing field.
