Training and simulation group CAE is producing an engineering simulator to support Jaunt Air Mobility’s development of the Journey eVTOL aircraft. In an agreement announced today, CAE will design and develop the Jaunt Aircraft Systems Integration Lab (JASIL) to support testing of systems and the five-seat aircraft itself as the company seeks to complete type certification under FAA Part 29 rules by the end of 2026.

The JASIL facility is expected to be in Canada, possibly at CAE’s headquarters in Montreal. Last week, Jaunt announced that it will base its design and manufacturing operations in the Montreal area, following the formation of a local subsidiary called Jaunt Air Mobility Canada.
