Archer Files Countersuit Targeting Joby's eVTOL Supply Chain
Archer Aviation has escalated its legal dispute with competitor Joby Aviation by filing a new countersuit. The legal action specifically targets what Archer alleges are anti-competitive practices within Joby's eVTOL supply chain. This move adds another layer to the fierce rivalry between two of the leading companies in the advanced air mobility sector. The lawsuit claims Joby is attempting to improperly lock up key suppliers, potentially hindering competition across the industry. The outcome could set a significant precedent for how supplier agreements are structured in the emerging eVTOL market.
