CAE has delivered the first of two eVTOL flight simulators to Joby Aviation’s pilot academy in Marina, California. The fixed-base platform is expected to receive FAA level 7 flight training device qualification, whereas the second unit to be delivered later this year will be a level C full-flight simulator with a six-axis motion platform, Joby said. 

Joby and CAE have been collaborating on flight-simulation technology for the single-pilot, four-passenger JAS4-1 eVTOL aircraft since 2022. In addition to developing high-fidelity simulators, CAE operates what it claims is the world’s largest civil aviation training network.
