If there is a market, I am not convinced yet, I think they can. Because one OEM is not enough, there is place for at least a second one. Boeing has nothing, nor does any other major aerospace OEM. Which leaves a slot for Joby, potentially. Maybe someone else, Autoflight maybe. They are Chinese, meaning endless money for the time being, have a decent team and progress steadily and very quietly.

Personally, I'll count out all the other contenders.

Boeing owns a significant portion of Wisk and also has some stake in Archer.

Didn't they devest Wisk? I could be mixing things up, didn't check.

Wisk and Archer have nothing to show so at the moment. Nor does Volocopter, besides some cargo drones.
