Fly the Joby Aircraft in the New Release of Microsoft Flight Simulator
Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) announced that its electric air taxi is now available in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, allowing players worldwide to pilot the aircraft. The game implementation results from years of collaboration to accurately capture the aircraft's dimensions, flight physics, and controls. The Joby aircraft features unified flight controls similar to vertical-lift military aircraft, enabling intuitive transition from vertical take-off to wingborne flight.
Players can fly between helipads and airports worldwide, including potential air taxi routes like JFK Airport to Downtown Manhattan. The aircraft is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers at speeds up to 200 mph, offering high-speed mobility with reduced noise compared to helicopters and zero operating emissions.

Insights
The integration of Joby's aircraft into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 represents a significant marketing and public awareness milestone. This collaboration goes beyond simple gaming - it's a sophisticated training and familiarization tool that serves multiple strategic purposes:
- Builds public awareness and acceptance of eVTOL technology through hands-on virtual experience
- Provides a platform for potential pilots to understand the unique "unified flight controls" system
- Demonstrates real-world route possibilities between actual vertiports and airports
- Complements Joby's pilot training program development with CAE
While this launch won't directly impact immediate revenue, it's a strategic move to accelerate market adoption and pilot recruitment as Joby approaches commercial operations. The high-fidelity simulation, developed through years of collaboration, could also prove valuable for preliminary pilot training and public education about eVTOL capabilities.

The Joby electric air taxi is available in the latest edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator, released today, offering all generations of aviation enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the future of flight from the pilot’s seat.
JoeBen Bevirt, Founder and CEO of Joby, commented: “We’re incredibly excited to share our revolutionary aircraft with aviation enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds, giving everyone an opportunity to experience the intuitive and effortless controls we have designed. We can’t wait to see where people will choose to take off and land with our aircraft, using its flexibility to explore cities and communities in a new way.”
The Joby aircraft uses a novel approach to flight controls to enable pilots to intuitively transition from vertical take-off to wingborne flight. Known as “unified flight controls,” the aircraft is piloted similar to vertical-lift military aircraft such as the F-35B Joint Strike Fighter.
Players will be able to fly the Joby aircraft between helipads and airports worldwide in the game, including potential routes for Joby’s air taxi service such as from JFK Airport to
The inclusion of the Joby aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the result of years of collaboration between Joby and the Microsoft Flight Simulator team to capture the interior and exterior dimensions as well as the flight physics and controls of the aircraft in all stages of flight.
Joby’s electric air taxi is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph, offering high-speed mobility with a fraction of the noise produced by helicopters and zero operating emissions.
Joby recently outlined its intended pilot training curriculum, which will see commercial fixed-wing pilots complete a series of simulator and real-life training exercises in order to earn a powered-lift type rating. Joby is working with CAE, a global leader in pilot training and simulation, to develop Level 7 and Level C flight simulation training devices.
