On the eve of National Aviation Day (August 19), Mayor Mahan of San Jose took a test drive on the Joby Aviation flight simulator at San Jose International Airport, completing a simulated flight of about 10 minutes and experiencing the operation of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) air taxis firsthand.

This is the first time a Joby flight simulation device has been installed at an American airport, and the public can make free reservations to experience it before August 21st. Joby’s Chief Product Officer, Alison, revealed that the company plans to launch commercial passenger services in 2027 after obtaining approval from the FAA. Joby’s air taxi can carry four passengers, and Mayor Mahan said that this technology is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in Silicon Valley and create future job opportunities.
