They offer all-electric eVTOL services, including the VoloCity passenger electric air taxi, VoloRegion long-range passenger aircraft, VoloDrone heavy-lift cargo drone, and the necessary physical and digital infrastructure. Their goal is to transform mobility in congested cities and create a more sustainable future.

Volocopter

Volocopter brings urban air mobility (UAM) to megacities worldwide. We aim to improve the quality of life for people in cities by offering a fantastic new mode of transportation. For that, we create sustainable and scalable UAM ecosystems with partners in infrastructure and operations.  

Volocopter’s family of eVTOL aircraft will offer passengers (VoloCity and VoloRegion) and goods (VoloDrone) swift, secure, and emission-free connections to their destinations, supported by VoloIQ, the UAM ecosystem’s software platform that serves as its digital backbone for safe and efficient operations.  

As a pioneer in the UAM industry, Volocopter will launch commercial services within the next year. Founded in 2011, the company employs more than 500 people in Germany and Singapore, has completed over 2,000 successful public and private test flights, and raised more than $600 million in equity from investors, including Geely, WP Investment, Mercedes-Benz Group, Intel Capital, and BlackRock. www.volocopter.com

Over the last few days, we’ve had multiple opportunities to test fly over the Osaka Bay, close to the upcoming EXPO 2025 location, to get to know the surroundings and learn more about the use cases.  
 
In addition, we’ve also had the chance to explore the city, getting to know one of the most visited locations in Japan. Osaka is a city that combines tradition with innovation, and it is the birth -town of many of the inventions we use today, and we can’t wait to bring a new layer of innovation and mobility to its citizens!

Successful completion of #eVTOL flight tests in Osaka, ahead of our launch in Japan during the EXPO 2025.  
 
We had the pleasure of hosting not only our local partners and guests, but also 200 students from local schools. They had the chance to ask questions and see firsthand the ins and outs of Volocopter and our pioneering technology. 
 
With only 500 days left until the EXPO begins, it is important that we fly in different conditions, educating ourselves on the potential application scenarios for eVTOLs in Japan, particularly in large cities such as Osaka.

At Volocopter, we push innovative technology to complement mobility and drive decarbonization.  
 
With over 80 patent families in several technical fields of aviation, our ability to consistently innovate and develop cutting-edge technology has set us apart. Today, our aircraft emit no harmful pollutants in flight while using high tensile strength, lightweight materials, and intuitive design principles to optimize energy use.

We have officially kicked-off our Japan flight test campaign with #eVTOL flight tests above Osaka Bay.  

Together with NEDO, Japan’s largest research and development organization, we conducted a behavioral flight, testing both ground and air procedures to acclimate our flight crew and supporting staff to EXPO 2025 conditions. #UrbanAirMobility 

Don’t miss our next public flight in Osaka on Wednesday.

As the pioneer of urban air mobility, we have actively engaged in the global conversation surrounding sustainability and decarbonization by attending some of the world's most prominent summits – and we are not standing still.  
 
Our executives Dirk Hoke and Oliver Reinhardt are attending COP28, the most important climate summit in the world, discussing our journey to decarbonization and how our electric VoloCity aircraft will change the future of urban mobility.  
 
Our attendance marks the first time industry-wide that an #eVTOL pioneer is present at an UN Climate Change event, stressing the industry’s goal to contribute to decarbonization. #VoloCOP28

The era of technology demonstrations within electric aviation is shifting as we move toward making electric air taxis a commercial reality.  
 
While this shift comes with a fair share of challenges, such as strict safety requirements, rigorous quality assurance, and extensive documentation efforts, the process of converting into commercially viable products is essential to obtain real environmental benefits. 
 
We are gearing up to make a groundbreaking move and achieve this goal by launching Europe’s first electric air taxi service in Paris and Rome in 2024 – a pivotal step toward a sustainable and transformative future of urban mobility.

One giant leap for European Urban Air Mobility! 
 
Our #VoloCity has passed the Aircraft Level System Review audit conducted by EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency against the ARP4754A standard. This mandatory standard defines the system engineering and safety practices and processes necessary for the development of VoloCity to be certified in the European Economic Area. 
 
This is not only a huge step forward on our path to type certification but also a significant achievement for the whole #eVTOL industry seeking EASA certification, as we set a precedent for future standards of safety. As an industry pioneer, only the highest standards of aviation safety will suffice, and this accomplishment brings us closer to the commercial launch in the European market. 
 
Congratulations to our amazing team of engineers for their hard work and achievement!

Decarbonizing aviation is no small feat, but it's a mission we're all in together. And it comes with unique challenges like weight requirements and size limitations, long innovation cycles, and high costs for adapting new tech at scale.  
 
There are three proposed solutions for the future of sustainable aviation: Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), hydrogen, and electric propulsion. They serve different purposes determined by various factors, such as aircraft size, flight range potential, and business cases, including cost performance. Nevertheless, all solutions are imperative to collectively decarbonize aviation - cue our #eVTOL aircraft fleet. #VoloCOP28 
 
According to a recent report from the European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism, "every electrified route presents a reduction in aviation's climate and environmental footprint, and it's worthwhile the investment." Find out more from our in-house experts: https://bit.ly/40OZ9pK

We are proud to be a part of the future of air mobility and we are ready to lead the way! 
 
Over the past 6 weeks, we had the privilege to fly 4 times in 4 different U.S. states. Our journey began in Texas, at the UP Summit in Dallas Fort-Worth, and took us west to Las Vegas, Nevada for the NBAA-BACE. We then headed east to Tampa, Florida, and concluded our road trip by making history as the first-ever #eVTOL to fly in New York City.  
 
Wrapping up our U.S. road trip, we give a big thank you to everyone who has come out to see us and support our flight tests. Witnessing the enthusiasm and appreciation from our onsite audience has brought us immense joy and is making us look forward to a bright future.
