Air taxi production plant
German air taxi and urban air mobility (UAM) development company Volocopter has announced the opening of its production facility in Bruchsal. The company also opened a new hangar that will house the company's final assembly line with an airfield for development flight testing and quality checks.
All company-owned production sites, which will manufacture the first EASA-certified electric air taxis , are scheduled to become fully operational by the end of this month.
In , Volocopter obtained the green light from EASA for its production process covering everything from the manufacturing of carbon fiber parts, all aspects of the electric propulsion unit and final assembly with the pro C Level Executive List pulsion system cover and the fuselage, until the extensive finale of Online Flight Tests. After approval, it took months to put everything in place.
Volocopter's production facilities have the capacity to assemble more than VoloCity aircraft each year, ahead of UAM's initial demonstration services during the Paris Summer Olympics next year.
“Right here is where the plane that will change the way humanity moves around cities will take off and travel around the world,” said Dirk Hoke, CEO of Volocopter. “This region is known for transforming mobility: the bicycle, the car and soon also Volocopter. “Electric air taxis and Volocopter , in particular, is a German-made technology that will make the world a more sustainable place.”
With its family of aircraft (VoloCity, VoloRegion and VoloDrone), the company takes a unique approach by developing UAM as a holistic ecosystem. The German company has committed to launching commercial air taxi services in cities such as Singapore, Rome, NEOM and Paris from
