✈️ From Paper Planes to Urban Air Mobility 🚁

At our recent team event, we took on a fun but surprisingly challenging task: building paper airplanes. But this wasn’t just child’s play — each team had to design a plane that could meet specific performance goals.

What started as a creative exercise quickly turned into a lesson in engineering, collaboration, and innovation. Sound familiar?

In many ways, it reflects what companies like Volocopter are doing — taking the fundamentals of flight and reimagining them for the future. Whether it’s a simple paper airplane or a fully electric air taxi, the principles remain the same:
- Design matters
- Functionality is key
- Iteration leads to improvement
- And teamwork makes the difference

💡 What stood out most was how quickly ideas evolved when people collaborated, tested, failed, and optimized together — just like in real-world innovation projects.

From folding paper to shaping the future of urban mobility — innovation often starts smaller than we think.

👏 Great energy, great teamwork, and a reminder that even the simplest challenges can spark complex thinking.

🚁 Introducing VoloXPro — Redefining Electric Multicopter Flight

Today in Friedrichshafen, Volocopter unveiled VoloXPro, a newly developed, fully electric ultralight multicopter designed for a wide range of applications—from flight training and air sports to professional passenger transport.

Built on a modular platform concept and incorporating proven components from the VoloCity, VoloXPro delivers an exceptional safety standard comparable to commercial aviation—a first in Germany’s ultralight aircraft category. At the same time, smart component sharing and ultralight certification enable attractive pricing for both private and commercial operators.

Key highlights:
• Fully electric, low‑noise, emission‑free flight
• Modular configurations—from minimalist training setups to high‑end professional operations
• Fly‑by‑wire control for reduced pilot workload and easier handling
• Designed as a next‑generation powered‑lift training platform, preparing pilots for future eVTOL operations

With planned ultralight certification in Germany by the end of 2026 and parallel approvals across Europe, VoloXPro bridges today’s pilot training with the future of advanced air mobility.

Proud of the teams and partners who shaped this strictly market‑focused new development—and excited to present it at AERO 2026.

✨ Meet the “Magic Monkey” — one of Volocopter’s smartest in‑house innovations.

This little device plays a big role in making our aircraft safer.

The Magic Monkey allows us to simulate the failure of multiple safety‑critical components during flight — such as motor failure — and test that the aircraft responds as predicted and intended.

By intentionally pushing the system to its limits, we gain the insights needed to make urban air mobility not only possible, but reliable and safe for everyone.

Proud to be part of a team that doesn’t just imagine the future of flight — we engineer it, test it, and prove it. 🛠️🚁⚡

🚁 Pushing the boundaries of how we fly.

We’re excited to share a glimpse into one of our latest milestones: demonstrating piloted, remote‑controlled, and XR Ground Station–enabled flight capabilities.

In our newest setup, we’ve enhanced one of our flight simulators to support advanced flight‑test operations directly from the ground. Using a mixed‑reality environment, the pilot interacts with a real aircraft cockpit layout, complete with representative controls and displays—creating an immersive first‑person experience that feels remarkably close to being on board.

This approach allows us to:
✨ Validate critical scenarios that cannot be flown safely in real life
✨ Support certification activities for unpiloted aircraft
✨ Improve pilot familiarization and training workflows
✨ Accelerate the path toward operational maturity for eVTOL systems

With these advancements, we’re addressing some of the most complex challenges in the certification and training of next‑generation aircraft—making each step of the journey more efficient, structured, and scalable.

More to come. 🚀

🚀 Volocopter to Launch Europe’s First eVTOL Sandbox Program in 2026!

We’re taking Urban Air Mobility to the next level: In 2026, we will kick off a sandbox program to test our VoloCity and VoloXPro aircraft under near-commercial conditions.

✅ Goal: Accelerate certification and operational readiness for electric air taxis and ultralight aircraft.
✅ How: Real-world flight trials, point-to-point missions, and collaboration with trusted partners like ADAC Luftrettung to explore emergency medical service applications.

“This sandbox is the final stretch toward making electric air taxis and ultralight aircraft a reality in Europe,” says David Bausek, CTO at Volocopter.

On September 29, 2025, we achieved a groundbreaking feat by having three aircraft simultaneously in the air for the first time!

🌟 The VoloXPro was piloted, showcasing its advanced capabilities and smooth handling.
🌟 The VoloCity was remotely controlled, demonstrating the future of autonomous flight.
🌟 A camera drone captured every thrilling moment, providing stunning aerial footage.

Last week, we conducted developmental noise flight testing to verify the applicability of the Environmental Protection Technical Specifications (ETPS) to the VoloCity design.

We were honored to have the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) witness the tests, ensuring close engagement during our company flight test phase. This collaboration is crucial for efficiently preparing the upcoming noise certification tests based on practical data and observations.

We're excited to share more milestones as we advance towards quieter and more efficient urban air mobility solutions! 🌟

❤️ A Day to Remember ❤️

Last Friday, we opened our doors and hangar to celebrate our first Family Day since joining Diamond Aircraft. The result? A fantastic afternoon full of curiosity, connection, and a shared sense of purpose.

Together with HubWerk01 and their "Zukunftstag" initiative, we welcomed employees and their families to explore the future of urban air mobility. Our VoloCity Mockup exhibition and special hangar tours sparked real excitement - especially among the youngest visitors.

One moment stood out: after seeing the aircraft up close during the hangar tour, a young girl whispered, "I want to build an aircraft, too." 🚁💭
That's precisely the inspiration we hope to spark - across all generations.
There was a real sense of motivation and togetherness - we're not just building aircraft but growing into a family.

🙏 A big thank you to HubWerk01 for being a strong innovation and community engagement partner.

💡Volocopter Goes to School.💡

15 Students from the United States Visit Volocopter.

Various automobile manufacturers and Volocopter are opening their production facilities. The goal is to provide students from the United States with insights into the world of mobility. It was a great honor and pleasure for us to open our hangar doors in Bruchsal for 15 students and 3 teachers.

The students' visit is part of a two-week educational trip to Germany and Sweden, organized by the renowned company Putney Student Travel. The educational trip aims to convey the history of the mobility industry and its current technological developments in an exciting and practical way.

Electric and autonomous driving, automobile design and automation, new mobility concepts, and urban planning are the focus of the excursion. Volocopter, as a pioneer in Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and a leading manufacturer of electric air taxis in Europe, was a must-see. Deep insights, exciting discussions, and lots of fun made the almost four-hour visit fly by.
