December 27, 2021: Flying the Joby eVTOL Simulator

Author: Aviation International News December 27, 2021 Duration: 17:46

In this episode, AIN editor-in-chief Matt Thurber describes what it was like to fly the Joby electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft simulator at the company's Washington, D.C. office. The simulator is built to look like the cockpit of the real Joby aircraft, and it uses X-Plane simulation software for visualization and terrain display, but the flight modeling is all Joby-developed. And it was surprisingly easy to fly.
