Company Description

We at Volocopter are pioneers in the development of electrical air taxis that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs).

Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services and save people time by flying them safely to their destination. In 2011 we performed the first-ever manned flight of a purely electrical multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with its full-scale Volocopter.

Our Munich based Volocopter VoloDrone team is developing an unmanned, fully electric, heavy-lift utility drone capable of carrying a payload of up to 200 kg (440 lbs). Our VoloDrone can serve a great variety of purposes from transporting boxes, to liquids, to equipment and beyond. Anywhere ground transportation means are challenged by difficult accessibility, it may help by adding the air delivery dimension. (https://volocopter.com/de/volodrone/). Next to our core business of Urban Air Mobility, the technological platform of the Volocopter can bring value to a variety of additional applications in the logistics, agriculture, infrastructure, and public services spaces.
