Key Takeaways:
Joby Aviation has chosen Dayton, Ohio, as its future production hub for eVTOL electric air taxis, aiming to produce 500 units annually once certified.
The company is touring a mobile eVTOL simulator, including a stop at the Dayton Air Show, to give the public a preview of the technology and passenger experience.
Joby is developing advanced, highly realistic CAE flight simulators for pilot training, which integrate gaming technology and are designed to meet FAA powered-lift pilot training standards.
Joby is conducting extensive demonstrations of its eVTOL aircraft and simulators across the U.S. through its "Electric Skies Tour" and participation in the FAA's eIPP.
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.
