Joby Aviation JAI40
N602HY is a Joby Aviation JAI40, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor powered by electric motors. It is registered to an owner whose details are withheld at their request. The FAA lists the registration as "n-number assigned but not yet registered". No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested. 1 document is on file: bill of sale (evidence of ownership).

The public federal record on N602HY, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
Registration status is "N-number assigned but not yet registered". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial SN002 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N602HY according to the deregistered file. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (September 30, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N602HY. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
