VoloXPro eVTOL
Volocopter is working to certify a scaled back version of its eVTOL aircraft under ultralight rules for light sports aircraft.

Volocopter has launched an electric ultralight multicopter, building on its long-running efforts to bring the VoloCity eVTOL air taxi to market. The German company announced the new VoloXPro two-seater on Wednesday at the Aero Friedrichshafen show, saying that it aims to get approval as an EASA ultralight-class light sport aircraft by the end of 2026.

At the end of September, Volocopter plans to invite prospective customers to a demonstration event at its Munich-area headquarters. The company, which was rescued from insolvency by being acquired last year by Diamond Aircraft, expects to have a final prototype ready for flight tests in June.
