CAE announced that it has partnered with Joby Aviation Inc.,\na California-based company developing all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger\nservice, to develop and qualify flight simulation training devices that will be\nused to train the future pilots of Joby’s revolutionary all-electric aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leveraging the core simulation technology Joby has been\ndeveloping for the past five years, CAE will work with Joby to develop pilot\ntraining devices specifically for the company’s electric vertical take-off and\nlanding (eVTOL) aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joby intends to both manufacture and operate its aircraft,\nrequiring the company to train a new generation of pilots. Used to simulate\naircraft flight in various environments and conditions, flight simulators are\nan integral part of readying pilots to fly a new type of aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“CAE has a sterling reputation for delivering excellent\nsimulation and training solutions,” said Bonny Simi, Head of Air\nOperations and People for Joby. “We look forward to a world where\nthousands of Joby pilots are flying our aircraft every day and we couldn’t ask\nfor a better partner to help make that a reality.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joby is currently working with the Federal Aviation\nAdministration (FAA) to secure its Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate,\nestablishing the processes and regulatory approvals necessary for the company\nto operate commercially, with an expected service launch in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are thrilled to partner with Joby to help bring\ntheir pioneering vision to life,” said Nick Leontidis, CAE’s Group\nPresident, Civil Aviation Training Solutions. “With more than 75 years of\nexperience in the design, development and manufacture of flight simulators, CAE\nbrings extensive expertise with new aircraft types to support the qualification\nof Joby’s eVTOL fixed base flight training device and full-flight simulator\nwith the FAA.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CAE recently announced Project Resilience, a CAD$1 billion\ninvestment into aviation technologies of the future. The investment accelerates\nCAE’s role as a leader in end-to-end technology development, operational\nsupport and training solution for eVTOL pilots and Advanced Air Mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With its low noise profile, Joby’s eVTOL aircraft is\ndesigned to make fast, emissions-free, and convenient air travel an everyday\nreality in cities and communities around the world. Joby’s fly-by-wire aircraft\nemploys a unified flight control system and uses controls that are similar to\nfixed-wing aircraft, resulting in a smooth transition for pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We believe many pilots will consider flying for Joby\nto be a great career opportunity,” said Simi. “In addition to flying\nan environmentally friendly aircraft with a great piloting experience, we’ll\noffer pilots a reliable schedule that allows them to be home every evening, a\nluxury not available to most professional pilots.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
