Here at Volocopter, we are the pioneers of electric air taxis (electric
vertical takeoff and landing aircraft - eVTOLs). We have pledged to bring
urban air mobility to life by getting electric air taxis and other eVTOLs off
the ground in a way that complements existing transportation options in
megacities across the globe. Our aim is to offer affordable, on-demand air
taxi services that fly people to their destination quickly and safely. In 2011
we carried out the first-ever piloted flight of a fully electric multicopter
and have since conducted more than 1,500 public and private test flights
across the world (www. volocopter.com).
