The Volocopter VC200 is bringing the helicopter into the 21st century, offering clean, energy-efficient transportation in an innovative package that will surely attract a lot of customers. Learning to pilot, take off and land vertically has never been easier, with this revolutionary e-multicopter being as easy to operate as possible; you won’t even need to spend a ton of money on time consuming flying lessons for this beauty.
The Volocopter delivers the joy of flying, complemented by the highest levels of safety, low maintenance and ease of use. A gentle handling of the joystick, and the 2-seater, ultralight aircraft glides into the desired position. Think of it as playing with a larger drone, yet you’re along for the ride.
The revolutionary safety & propulsion system of the Volocopter is actually the base for a future platform, meant to serve additional aviation systems. This is interesting, because the Volocopter concept will offer piloted, remote-controlled or even completely autonomous air operations, which would redefine the way we see flying.
Even better, the modular flight systems can be developed in various sizes, depending on your requirements. Clients can go for either purely electric or hybrid form of propulsion, and I’m not sure which is best. The sky’s the limit here, literally and figuratively, but it still remains to be seen how safe and reliable such concepts are. It may be green, but is it cash green?
