- We are proud to present the latest from our Flight Test team as their dedicated campaign to put the VoloCity through its paces is in full swing! This is a major step on our journey toward achieving aircraft certification and we are thrilled to be sharing it with all of you! This short clip is the culmination of all the hard work that we’re doing to get the VoloCity urban air taxi off the ground as we gear up for our commercial launch.
Our ultimate goal? We want to be flying our VoloCity urban air taxi in summer 2024 in Paris. And we hope you’ll be there too, cheering us on from the sidelines - or perhaps even from inside one of our VoloCity aircraft!

About Volocopter
Volocopter brings urban air mobility (UAM) to megacities worldwide. We aim to improve quality of life for people in cities by offering a fantastic new mode of transportation.
To this end, we create sustainable and scalable UAM ecosystems with partners in infrastructure and operations. Volocopter’s family of eVTOL aircraft will offer passengers (VoloCity and VoloConnect) and goods (VoloDrone) swift, secure, and emission-free connections to their destinations, supported by the VoloIQ, the UAM ecosystem’s software platform that serves as its digital backbone for safe and efficient operations.

As a aircraft enthusiast, i must say that Volocopter has potential to be Mahoosive; as a former member of the British Air Training Corps, our squadron based in Great Britain would have loved to see this back in the 1980’s.
I'm searching "Volocopter noise level" but all I can find are videos with heavy music tracks in them. Any special reason for why you don't seem to want people to hear how loud it is?
This is my concern too. It's gonna be loud. I also don't see how it could ever be used as mass transit, just the wealthy, who barely need it. So the public approval and regulatory hurdles are going to be more expensive and uphill than the money they stand to make.
Thats all you reached after 11 years of development?
Magnifique
I think, your drone is the safest for passengers, because it has a lot of motors.
I wish you a good luck!
I´m waiting for another 10 years and still not being operational... I cannot imagine the noise impact and environmental impact (especially birds) of this machine flying above our heads
It’s been 7 years of videos. Still don’t understand if you can buy this thing or not.
Don't hurry them. As they said, "you have to understand the process". Maybe in 7 more years the understand the process. It's a ball with 5 fans on top, it's not as easy to make as you would expect, calm down dude.
Fun project for a decade of work but this will not be for sale or use.
@@Groaznic oh no, don’t get me wrong, who am I to hurry them, and I understand these processes take a while and I really admire these guys, I could never create something like this! I just want to understand the point of it- are volocopters going to be eventually sold or not? Or this is just a cool futuristic fantasy.
lol
@@Groaznic its not even possible.
Just tried it in MSFS 2020 😂. It's a pain to fly long distances and takes forever to ascend and descend, but it super for low height city flights.
Please hurry guys. Everyone stuck in traffic is counting on you. 😬 Great video. Please keep sharing your progress.
Can it carry rockets?
The propellers need guards to prevent bird strike.
certainly not.
Where do you land? Usually my taxis dont take me to empty hillsides.
Thanks for your comment. We've chosen safe landing spots for our prototype and are continuously working to improve our infrastructure. You'll find more information about our routes and operations of Paris on our Website.

SHOW us these limits, then!
This is so excruciating to watch because of the drama production values and the self aggrandizing filming that it would be right at home on History channel between an episode about the lizard people and an episode with the "IT'S ALIENS" guy.
As we need more energy efficient solutions in the future there is no room for inefficient mobility solution like this. Sad, but true.
Literally every VTOL video from every company hides the insane amount of noise with music and narration. Clearly it's loud AF, which means it's not a realistic mass-market solution. Nice try Volo, but eventually you're gonna have to admit the sound issue exists.
Great, in a world with Volocopters you would have traffic noise everywhere! Not only on the streets around you like now but also in the sky above you. Traffic noise everywhere!!
You would think that the thousands of investors across the planet who invest in hundreds of these BS drone startups and roll a combined few trillions of bucks would have the common sense to realize the absolute insane noise level of even as few as 10 of these bombers hovering above, and stop shoving "THIS IS THE FUTURE EMBRACE IT BECAUSE IM POURING A BILLION INTO IT AND I DONT UNDERSTAND IT" down our throats. Idiocracy, and plutocracy, is what it is.
Will be great when these are falling from the sky… or into things. Imagine the disruption to birds that would fly at a similar altitude.
Don't understand the point of this at all
10.000.000.000 humans in about 23 years.
So? What will it help with? @@sonnybkh2080
