Key Takeaways:
Dayton, Ohio, is set to become Joby Aviation's eVTOL manufacturing hub, with the company showcasing its technology through a mobile simulator at the Dayton Air Show as part of its "Electric Skies Tour."
Joby Aviation is developing highly realistic flight simulators in partnership with CAE to rapidly train pilots for its eVTOL aircraft, aiming for efficient certification and immersive training experiences.
The company is actively engaging in nationwide demonstrations and participating in the FAA's eVTOL Integration Pilot Program across multiple states to prepare for the commercial deployment and integration of its air taxis.
Dayton, Ohio, could one day become an electric air taxi manufacturing stronghold after developer Joby Aviation picked it as its production hub in 2023. The hometown of the Wright brothers isn’t producing any eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft just yet.
But this weekend, residents and visitors can try out an eVTOL simulator.
