Microsoft Flight Simulator adds Joby eVTOL
November 21, 2024
Joby has announced the inclusion of its aircraft in the newly launched Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
This integration offers aviation enthusiasts the chance to pilot Joby’s innovative air taxi, featuring advanced “unified flight controls” similar to those in vertical-lift military aircraft like the F-35B.
Players can simulate flights on potential air taxi routes, such as JFK Airport to Downtown Manhattan—where Joby recently showcased real-life exhibition flights.
This collaboration, years in development, meticulously captures the aircraft’s design and flight dynamics, providing a realistic experience of the future of urban air mobility.
JoeBen Bevirt, Founder and CEO of Joby, commented: “We’re incredibly excited to share our revolutionary aircraft with aviation enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds, giving everyone an opportunity to experience the intuitive and effortless controls we have designed.
“We can’t wait to see where people will choose to take off and land with our aircraft, using its flexibility to explore cities and communities in a new way.”
