Volocopter Has Key Design & Production Approvals in the EU

Electrical take off and landing vehicles - eVTOLs - are one of the hottest sectors of new air mobility and travel vehicle development. Today, a big contender just got a lot bigger.  Germany's air taxi startup Volocopter is buying its long time partner DG Flugzeubau, a global leader in composite aircraft construction.  That acquisition secures Volocopter's compliance with European Union air safety regulator's production standards.  It provides production organization approval with the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the EASA design approvals.  The reason is the two companies have totally co-developed and produced the Volocopter eVTOL.

eVTOL First

The acquisition makes Volocopter the "first and only eVTOL to hold both required design and production organization approvals to advance its aircraft towards commercial launch", according to Volocopter.  The company hopes to launch its 2-seat flying taxis into regular service by the 2024 Paris Olympics.  It is also developing a cargo version of the EV.  Volocopter has a lot of eVTOL competition including Germany based Lilium and California based Joby Aviation.  For the latest on new travel concepts, go to ASIN ‏ : ‎ B098PH12XB
