Archer Escalates Legal Feud, Citing Joby's China Supply Chain Risks

Archer Aviation has escalated its legal dispute with rival Joby Aviation by filing a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission. The filing alleges that Joby's reliance on Chinese-made components provides an unfair cost advantage and poses national security risks. Archer is requesting an investigation into what it calls Joby's extensive use of a China-based supply chain. This action is the latest development in the ongoing legal rivalry between the two leading eVTOL aircraft developers, following a previous lawsuit where Joby accused Archer of trade secret theft.
