Joby Aviation (JOBY, Financial), specializing in electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles or air taxis, revealed that its aircraft can now be flown in Microsoft (MSFT, Financial) Flight Simulator 2024. This integration enables potential users to try the future of flight in person as the gamers control the electric air taxi through different terrains.
Today, we are happy to introduce our ground-breaking aircraft to aviation lovers, said JoeBen Bevirt, the founder of Joby. The players experience sound emulation in terms of flight physics and control of an actual aircraft.
He owns an aircraft that will perform mass and quiet, short takeoff, and vertical landing capabilities. Actual or virtual possible routes could comprise those not currently in operation but may be potential air taxi routes, such as from JFK airport to Downtown Manhattan.
The partnership between Joby and Microsoft clearly shows continued investment in electric aviation. As Joby moves towards launching commercial operations, this integration is a sneak peek into the future of urban air mobility.
