The traffic of the future could soon conquer the airspace, at least Volocopter, pioneer in the development of air taxis, is sure and is already working on concepts how this will work. The concept integrates air taxis into existing transport structures and offers additional mobility for up to 10.000 passengers per day from the very first point-to-point connection. With dozens of Volo-Hubs and Volo-Ports in one city, they bring up to 100.000 passengers per hour to their destination.
Volocopters are emission-free, electrically powered aircraft that take off and land vertically. They should offer a particularly high level of security, since all critical flight and control elements are installed redundantly. Volocopters are based on drone technology, but so powerful that two people can fit in each Volocopter and fly up to 27 kilometers. The Karlsruhe company has already shown that the Volocopter flies safely - most recently in Dubai and Las Vegas. Florian Reuter, from Volocopter GmbH. “We are working on the entire ecosystem because we want to establish urban air taxi services all over the world. That includes the physical as well as the digital infrastructure. "
