Our Take on the Volante Vision Concept
The Volante Vision has been conceptualized as a research and development platform by SuperVolant - so no timeline has been released regarding an actual flight test or certification plan, although in order to validate theoretical models the company will at some point be required to build a prototype. Check back in for more updates in the future.
