Volocopter VoloCity

The VoloCity will is the fourth-generation electric take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) by the German Urban Air Mobility developer Volocopter, while staying true to Volocopter's key technical and safety features: 18 rotors, redundancy in all critical systems, a low noise signature and a rigid commitment to the inner-city mission. According to Volocopter, "the VoloCity will become the first commercially licensed Volocopter, developed according to the high standards and requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). Our intensive testing programme has informed the innovative design and the outstanding overall performance of the VoloCity. Quiet, safe, and comfortable, the Volocity engenders Urban Air Mobility."

The official prototype of the VoloCity was unveiled in October of 2020, and the first footage of the aircraft in flight was released in April of 2022.

Volocopter consistently addresses many of the most common points of concerns when it comes to eVTOL technology, and demonstrates its ability to break through those barriers. Safety is resembled in the VoloCity's redundant design, noise is reduced by the 18-rotor configuration, and operability will be simplified with assisted flight controls and battery interchangeability for rapid "refueling". Volocopter has become a trusted name in the urban air mobility industry and has over 1000 test flights around the world since 2011. The company's aircraft design in conjunction with its VoloPort demonstrates a larger understanding of the infrastructure that the UAM industry will require as it begins to rapidly expand.

As Volocopter has grown, it has shown the ability to consistently move towards its goals, steadily releasing next-generation prototypes, flight tests, and infrastructure set-up milestones. With the company continuing at this pace, Volocopter can expect to be near or at the of the industry for infracity eVTOL aircraft.
