Joby and ASI use AI to explore electric aircraft integration

by | Apr 10, 2026 | AI & ML, Innovation

eVTOL developers Joby Aviation and software company Air Space Intelligence (ASI) are teaming up to explore the real-world integration of advanced air mobility (AAM).

Using ASI’s Flyaways AI Platform, Joby will deploy high-fidelity 4D modelling to understand how eVTOL operations can be scaled alongside existing air traffic procedures. With the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) set to launch the Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), the companies say the time is right to think seriously about AAM integration in the US.

Bernard Asare, President, Civil Aviation at Air Space Intelligence, said:

Scaling advanced air mobility requires more than new aircraft — it requires a new operating system for the airspace. Our Flyways AI platform gives operators and controllers the predictive awareness to coordinate high-density operations proactively, not reactively. This partnership brings that same capability to eVTOL operations from day one.

The commercial readiness of eVTOLs is accelerating at pace. While Joby have made significant gains and are expected to launch operations in Dubai later this year, competition in the US market is fierce, with rivals Archer and Vertical also keen to make their mark. In seeking FAA approval, demonstrating how the tech will perform in real-world scenarios is essential.

Greg Bowles, Joby Aviation’s Chief Policy Officer commented:

America has long set the global standard for aviation, and modernizing our airspace is key to maintaining that leadership, By combining Joby’s operational capabilities with ASI’s advanced AI-driven Flyways platform, we’re helping build the intelligent infrastructure needed to integrate electric air taxis seamlessly into the NAS — one of America’s most important national assets.

Joby Aviation receives first simulator for pilot training

Joby Aviation receives first simulator for pilot training

by | Jan 14, 2026 | Innovation

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) firm Joby Aviation has received the first of two CAE simulators to train its pilots.

Specifically designed for eVTOL operations, the simulators will enable Joby to train as many as 250 pilots a year. Featuring a 300-by-130-degree field of view, state of the art 3D visuals and audio cues recreate a real-world environment as closely as possible.

Alexandre Prévost, President of Civil Aviation at CAE, said:

By leveraging decades of expertise in high-fidelity simulation, we are helping Joby prepare pilots for safe, efficient operations and supporting the industry’s transition to sustainable air transportation.

Joby has worked with CAE on on the simulators since 2022. The culmination of for years of research and development, the systems will be key to advancing Joby’s certification plans in the US. Among other agreements, the company has also made significant progress in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where it plans to launch a commercial eVTOL service later this year.

Bonny Simi, President of Operations at Joby, added:

These simulators are central to the FAA certification process and are being delivered on time to support pilot training ahead of Joby’s first commercial flights planned for this year. Developing flight fully qualified simulators takes years of work and access to aircraft data, and it is required for Part 135 operations of eVTOL aircraft in the United States.
