Volocopter is teaming up with Canadian aeronautical engineering and training company CAE to create what the partners call the world’s first eVTOL pilot training and development programme.
Last week, both Volocopter and Joby Aviation reported strong results that make the 2023-2024 target date look realistic. German Volocopter plans to launch its first urban air taxi service in 2023/24.
Huge drone that can carry 200 kilos unveiled in Berlin. Its diameter exceeds 9 metres and its height 2 metres. With a load of 200 kg, it can cover 40 km. The cargo drone was presented by Volocopter and DB schenker at the German National Aviation Conference in Berlin.
After a successful flight at an airport in France, the German Volocopter is about to be given the green light to carry passengers at the Paris Olympics.
Although the first commercial air taxi services are still years away, the positioning of the leading manufacturers at the forefront of development is already underway, as evidenced by the announcement of Voloconnect in May this year.
A new Volocopter share with a nominal value of EUR 200 million was subscribed, increasing the nominal value of the shares of the German-based air taxi company to EUR 322 million. The fund is primarily intended for the licensing, production and market launch of Volocity air taxis. They are confident that in two years, the service can start with their air taxis in different cities around the world.
