Article needs a photo edit

The article has no photograph of this notable new aircraft currently in the process of certification, and being developed by a publicly traded company. Seems odd. N2e (talk) 21:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

This photo recently won first place in the Aviation Week 2021 Photo Contest. Here's all winning photos. Perhaps might be able to be used to improve the article under WP:FAIRUSE, since this has been published in a news media source and private photographs have not been able to be obtained.-- N2e (talk)

Fair use pics (usually from press release, not from pillaging magazines) are OK until the craft is public and a free picture can be made, and if the vehicle had made its first flight, it's considered public. I think this can be difficult to attain, especially for small aircraft flying in inaccessible aerodromes. An easier condition would be: if a spotter took a picture of it, it's public enough and the fair use claim would be moot, but hey, I don't make the rules.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 07:00, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Right now, As I searched for Joby+aircraft in google images, there are mostly press release and magazine pictures, but also some spotters photos like urbanairmobilitynews (long lens, testing ground with no attempt for cleaning: not a press picture). I'm afraid it would fail even my proposed condition.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 07:06, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

I added a picture from a patent. Patents seems to be public domain in the US (unless there is a copyright notice) and Wikipedia's servers (not wikimedia commons) are in the US, so it should be OK.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 07:34, 4 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
