Volocopter

It's Paris Airshow Time! ✈️ In 2023, we were the FIRST to fly an eVTOL at the #PAS. This year, we are only there with a small delegation, but with big goals! Watch our full 8-minute flight from 2023. #ParisAirshow #eVTOL bit.ly/45t0RSq

Since Volocopter's founding, we've pushed innovation in flight controls, avionics, and more, achieving 112 patents in 74 families by May 2025 in key countries like Germany, the UK, USA, and China. Plus, we are excited to have with 80+ more patent applications pending.

At Volocopter, safety and reliability are our priorities. The Iron Bird, a ground-based test rig, simulates the VoloCity system, allowing us to test avionics, flight controls, and electrical systems rigorously. It facilitates iterative testing and enhances overall flight safety.

🌞 Spring has been delightful! With sunny days and max wind gusts of 20 knots, our team is diligently validating aircraft systems. We collected data at speeds between 44-55 knots at low altitudes, ensuring functionality and safe operations.

Every day, our team diligently works on our aircraft, certification roadmap, and company goals. Recently, our mechanical engineering team has been preparing for some important structural tests to demonstrate we meet performance requirements and uphold our high safety standards.

Here's to new beginnings! Volocopter is focused on achieving our mission of sustainable urban air mobility. With Diamond Aircraft Industries, we're entering a new era. Together as one big family, we'll redefine aviation and explore boundless possibilities in the skies! 🚀✈️

Exciting news! Thanks to Diamond Aircraft, the #VoloCity is back in the air, and the Volocopter journey is soaring as our team resumes operations. Just last week, VoloCity took to the skies again diligently advancing our test campaign for EASA type certification.

Another key certification milestone, unlocked! We tested the backup flight control computer (BFC) of the #VoloCity to ensure it can safely take over in case of primary computers’ failures, to comply with aviation’s highest safety standards. Listen in to get more insights.

We are pleased to announce that Volocopter and Jet Systems Systems Hélicoptères Services have entered a long-term partnership to bring #eVTOL aircraft services to France. Learn more here: bit.ly/4jUwY22

Volocopter completed multiple flight tests in a week to enhance #VoloCity capabilities! We flew at a 54-knot airspeed, conducted high-speed control response testing, stepped to 60 knots VD airspeed, completed four high-speed single motor & three double motor failure test points.

#VoloCity flight testing remains Volocopter's top priority and operational norm. We're expanding the flight envelope to fly faster, higher, and longer, demonstrating our commitment to electrifying aviation with our #eVTOL aircraft.

Another year has passed, and we express our gratitude to everyone who has shaped Volocopter in 2024! Thank you to our partners, suppliers, investors, friends, and families for trusting in the transformative power of our #eVTOL aircraft. Happy Holidays from Your Volocopter Team!

We rigorously test all systems and updates in the #VoloCity aircraft, starting with remotely controlled flights to gather data. Only after completing uncrewed flight testing do we proceed to crewed flights, ensuring maximum safety & compliance with @EASA requirements!

We conducted Electric Propulsion Unit (EPU) failure tests, intentionally triggering single & dual motor failures to demonstrate that the #VoloCity aircraft performs as expected under @EASA safety standards—highlighting its robust redundancy for safe flight in urban environments.

In the #EMS world, active collision mitigation tools enable faster and safer flights to emergency incident sites. Volocopter and ADAC Luftrettung have begun a successful series of #VoloCity flight tests to detect multiple aircraft in various airspaces. More to come next year!

New milestone unlocked! We’ve officially completed 75% of the audits required to obtain Type Certification (TC) from @EASA for our #VoloCity, following the successful Electric Propulsion System (EPS) audit with agency auditors on-site.

This month's #EmployeeSpotlight is on Darko Sabljo, a Hardware Systems Engineer in our Avionics and Flight Controls department. Darko supports critical projects and even steps in as a remote-control test pilot when needed, embodying the true sense of team spirit at Volocopter!

Our #VoloCity aircraft is tuned to produce low downwash due to its 18-rotor configuration & lightweight. But how does this enhance Emergency Medical Services? Listen to our Test Pilot, Olivier Renard, provide insights for our #VolocopterInEMS series featuring @ADACLuftrettung.

Volocopter makes forward strides in the air and on the ground! Parallel to flight testing, our team is assembling the fourth and fifth #VoloCity aircraft. This progress is a testament to our decade-long design excellence, development prowess, and leadership in the #eVTOL sector.
