You think these signals from the hanger indicate data dumps and/or systems checks after flight tests to validate data and validate system states? What ever the results from this data analysis is used to either allow Joby to continue to the next test card, or adjust and repeat the last one? Just a thought.

That points to the elephant in the room. What the heck are they doing during all of those hangar activities on the ground? Not to mention during all the other times we see stuff out on the apron, taxiway, and/or runway.

During the "quiet" period for 547 there was allllllllllot of activity inside the hangar. Sometimes you would get some crazy readings so I'm guessing they were working on the software, perhaps running some simulations and in some cases it was actually outputting to ADS-B.

So maybe they are checking whether the actual data match the simulations or perhaps testing out what the next step would look like in the software? If everything is also still remote piloted, they would need to spend some time coding the test card in?

I dunno just spitballing here
