Joby, NASA simulation gets up to 120 air taxi operations p/h in busy airspace

Joby Aviation announced it has successfully completed a series of air traffic simulations with NASA’s Ames Research Center that evaluated how air taxi operations can be integrated into today’s airspace, including at busy airports, using existing air traffic control or ATC tools and procedures.The simulations, jointly developed by Joby and NASA airspace engineers following a multi-year airspace study, tested scenarios with dozens of eVTOL aircraft per hour flying into and out of the complex, busy airspace in the Dallas-Fort Worth,DFW, region using today’s airspace system.
