Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has added Joby Aviation's S4 eVTOL to its aircraft roster, and the detail drawing notice from those flying it isn't range or speed — it's the near-silence of the electric powertrain. For a readership that measures aircraft by what they sound like on the ramp, a rotorcraft-class design that renders almost soundlessly in the sim is worth a look before the airframe itself is common at any FBO. For now, the cockpit is digital, but the noise profile is the point.

With reporting from Flying.
