German eVTOL aircraft developer Volocopter this week joined the city of Los Angeles’s efforts to launch air taxi services. The company has signed up to participate in the Urban Movement Labs collaboration, which is part of a wider Urban Air Mobility Partnership launched by Mayor Eric Garcetti in December 2020.

On September 15, Volocopter said it would work with the California city’s initiative to explore applications for its two-seat VoloCity eVTOL vehicle, as well as its larger, longer-range VoloConnect aircraft and the VoloDrone cargo model. The company will give a presentation at the CoMotion LA event from November 16 to 18 to give the local population an opportunity to learn more about urban air mobility (UAM).
