Volocopter has completed the ground vibration testing of its VoloCity eVTOL aircraft, working in partnership with German aerospace research agency DLR.
Volocopter plans to begin commercially operating its two seat all-electric VoloCity this year, providing short flights in urban areas. The 18-rotor eVTOL aircraft has a range of 22 miles (35km) and a top speed of 69mph (110km/h).
The VoloCity is expected to debut alongside other eVTOL aircraft at the Paris Olympics in July and be used to transport athletes and dignitaries using five vertiports spread across the city.
The ground vibration test (GVT) program was run over five days during January at a Volocopter facility in Bruchsal, Germany. The test program involved eight Volocopter engineers and six from DLR. The close collaboration of the engineers …
