The vertical take-off and landing electric air taxi VoloConnect from the German company Volocopter performed the first successful flight.

This was reported by New Atlas, according to Ukrinform reports.

It was noted that the flight, which lasted 2 minutes and 14 seconds, was made in May, but the company only announced it to the public now.

Volocopter said it is evaluating motion at low and high speeds, its ability to switch between vertical and horizontal flight, and its ability to compensate for engine failure in flight.

VoloConnect is designed to carry four passengers. The cruising speed of the air taxi is 180 km per hour, and the maximum – up to 250 km per hour. The maximum flight distance does not exceed 100 km.

The company plans to start offering VoloConnect services in 2026.

As Ukrinform reports, a large VoloDrone cargo plane from the German company Volocopter has made its maiden flight.
