Volocopter to Launch First European eVTOL Sandbox Program in 2026, Featuring its VoloCity and VoloXPro aircraft

Volocopter will certainly release a European sandbox program in 2026 to progress screening of its electrical airplane, the VoloCity and the VoloXPro, under near-commercial procedure problems.

The effort will certainly include a collection of trip tests mimicing real-world procedures, while the sandbox will certainly confirm functional preparedness and assistance kind accreditation for both airplane with point-to-point objectives.

These tests will certainly duplicate crucial elements of future UAM solutions, consisting of trip treatments, ground procedures, and guest experience for VoloCity, in addition to functional usage situations for VoloXPro in metropolitan and local wheelchair.

David Bausek, CTO at Volocopter, claimed: “This sandbox is the last stretch towards making electrical air taxis and ultralight airplane a truth in Europe.Testing VoloCity and VoloXPro in real-world settings with relied on companions like ADAC Luftrettung guarantees we await industrial launch.”

As component of this effort, Volocopter’s long-lasting companion ADAC Luftrettung will certainly work together on pick objectives, discovering prospective applications of electrical upright departure and touchdown (eVTOL) modern technology for emergency situation clinical solutions and lays the basis for ADAC Luftrettung’s upcoming pilot tests, which will certainly start in picked areas.

Frédéric Bruder, Chief Executive Officer at ADAC Luftrettung, claimed: “eVTOL Modern technology, specifically Volocopter’s items, might change emergency situation action and local protection by making it possible for quicker, quieter, and much more lasting objectives. Taking part in Volocopter’s sandbox program permits us to discover these opportunities firsthand.”

Volocopter’s European sandbox program notes a significant landmark in the business’s trip to bring lasting metropolitan air wheelchair to European cities, with understandings obtained adding straight to the rollout of future VoloCity and VoloXPro solutions.

Established In 2011, Volocopter is headquartered in Bruchsal, Germany, and runs around the world with a goal to change metropolitan transport.

Earlier this year, Diamond Aircraft Industries integrated Volocopter into its business portfolio, which allows the German eVTOL OEM to lower its expense, maintain its labor force and concentrate on attaining its certificaton turning points this year.
