Volocopter commences eVTOL aircraft validation flights in Paris

Product updates

  • Volocopter, a German aviation company developing passenger and cargo eVTOL aircraft, has started crewed validation test flights with its two-seat eVTOL aircraft from the Paris-area Saint-Cyr-l'École airfield.

  • The validation flights were conducted with Volocopter's 2X technology demonstrator aircraft, having received a permit to fly from France's Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC). Volcopter also aims to develop eVTOL air taxi routes around Paris.

  • The company also reported that it plans to begin the test phase for emergency medical service operations in 2025 with its German partner, ADAC Luftrettung .

  • Analyst QuickTake: In July 2024 , Volocopter received approval from the French Ministry of Transport for an eVTOL floating landing pad at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for a public eVTOL demonstration. However, the company changed plans and introduced its eVTOL aircraft in a lower-profile exercise with its validation flights. Volcopter reported it would still fly its eVTOL later in 2024 as planned.
