Adopting urban air mobility (UAM) could generate S$4.18 billion ($3.1 billion) in accumulative benefits to the Singapore economy by 2030, according to a new report published by eVTOL aircraft developer Volocopter. The Singapore Roadmap proposes an initial network of four to six vertiports to support tourist flights over locations such as Marina Bay and Sentosa. Subsequent air taxi services using the German company’s all-electric two-seater VoloCity eVTOL aircraft, and the four-passenger VoloConnect model, would provide flights to Changi Airport and cross-border trips to Malaysia and Singapore.
The VoloCity, which could enter service around 2024, will fly to a range of 35 km (22 miles), while the VoloConnect would operate up to 100 km (63 miles). The company is also developing an autonomous cargo-carrying eVTOL called the VoloDrone.
