I am join the group

My dream

I love it

dami ba yan klase?

That is an Amazing project. Does anyone know why we wo don't hear more about it

Very good

That aircraft looks so stable, more stable than any helicopter. Couldn't someone design something similar that's engine powered but with larger rotors that could autorotate? Or even the same design but with some small engine as a backup.

Ugly

Ah it looks like a drone and flies like a drone. Makes sense!

AH ENCORE UNE MERDE inutile, juste pour les riches remarque ca sera plus facile de degommer ces connards visible et en lair ....

Don't forget to mention that boss is very reasonable and philanthropic as well. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🤍🖤 🚁

Will you be transporting passengers in Paris this summer?

Erst Investoren werden rausgedrängt. Schämt euch

i worked there and it was terrible, i dont reccomend.

9 years of videos. I honestly don’t get it.

Why isn't there one engineer in each of these companies who stand up and say "lithium batteries will not permit usable range and duration in a VTOL"?

This vehicle is in flight simulator

I do not see a market for the VoloCity. Who operates a taxi cab with only one passenger seat? 🚕

2:30 Sie haben es wirklich getan und die Drehbewegung um die Hochachse auch auf den Steuerknüppel gelegt. Das kann bei plötzlichen Reaktionen des Piloten sehr gefährlich sein.

Low helecopter……

Come to Kansas!

Pleitefirma....ab nach Afrika 🙏🏿🧑🏿‍🦲👦🏾👧🏾🧑🏿🧑🏿‍🦳💪🏻

You're a scam. And everyone able to count to 5 knows this.

Tolle Blendung.....träumt weiter 😅

Pleitefirma.....🧔🏿🧔🏿‍♂️👨🏿🧒🏿👏🏿

Insolvenz izz da

What a waste of time, money and labor. ☝🏿🧐 Now they ask the German government for financial support.

Wird die Optik noch verbessert? Finde den Volocopter optisch nicht sehr ansprechend, wirkt wie ein Modell aus einem 1970ger Jahre Film. Die Optik hat sich seit dem ersten Video vor fast 10 Jahren ja überhaupt nicht verändert. Ist das nur ein Hobby um durch die Welt zu kommen und mal jeden Kontinent zu besuchen und im Rampenlicht zu stehen oder wird das Gerät wirklich weiter entwickelt? Da finde ich das Projekt von Lilium schon deutlich professioneller und ambitionierter..

Video """:; mail off the pitch and

Great. I wish to be there :)

Awesome to see the facility done and working. 2022 I was there to install the floor heating

Ich mach sofort den Schein (bin Taxifahrer).

Still no company has certification after more than 10 years! Realistically this project is still many years away from certification for public transport, the authorities will simply not rake the risk that its safe. And range and payload are also limited. Just use a Bell 505! :-)

I'm very excited for Urban Air Mobility to become a reality! Could someone tell how many EASA certifications are left for commercial use to have a well-defined schedule?

Desync would suck on that beast

Alter sowas sollten wir fördern und nicht irgendeinen Krieg

How many separate power sources are the rotors drawing from?

Boah Leute ehj

How do you address a complete power loss during flight?

I genuinely don't know how you guys - Volocopter, have had, and continue to have the nerve to keep putting out videos on your apparent progress, and yet seemingly no realistic expectation of an operational date, route etc. Perhaps you're all happy to draw your salaries, and maybe it will all work out eventually, but if not, it's another thing to put on your CV's.

Godspeed, Volocopter!

What happens with the Volocopter in case of a complete power loss?

Well, this video doesn’t explain anything. 👎

Any flight engineer can easily explain that multi rotors are not scalable for a variety of aerodynamic and other physical reasons. If you make the rotors bigger you need adjustable pitch because you can't control them via RPM anymore. Rotational inertia increases with diameter3 so your rotor size is limited if changing RPM is your means of controlling the thing. That's why you get ridiculous constructions like the ones that get posted here all the time with 8 or 16 rotors, which is about as efficient as breathing through a straw. Tip vortices losses alone on this thing would be flat out ridiculous. The limit to all those machines is power to weight ratio thanks to the battery. Helicopters are already the most demanding vehicles in that category, and creating the world's least efficient rotor system with a ton of small rotors makes this issue infinitely worse. It is no surprise that the only functional electric helicopters (with a real payload of more than one anorexic supermodel) have been an R44 converted to electric drive, and a Sikorsky S300, both featuring a conventional single rotor. Next to that they don't have the safety of a auto rotating helicopter. A helicopter that loses complete electrical and mechanical power still remains controllable as long as there is some kinetic energy in the rotor and some potential gravitational energy that can be exchanged for kinetic energy. But with the volocopter if there is an imbalance in clock wise and counter clockwise rotors it will start to spin, and the computer has to compensate by shutting a opposed rotor down. So the entire thing comes down to the computer. Electrical failure or computer failure and it either falls out of the sky or starts violently spinning. It's a 100% doomed to fail. Physics guarantees it. And those engineers that work on it should know this, which means there is a very high chance it's purpose is just to scam investors.

I knew that.....

Das Ding ist aber ganz schön laut. Wollen wir ernsthaft, dass es in unseren Städten jetzt auch noch über unseren Köpfen summt und brummt, nur weil ein paar Reiche nicht im Stau stehen wollen? Mal ganz abgesehen vom hohen Ressourcenverbrauch klingt das nicht nach der richtigen Lösung für den Verkehr der Zukunft.

😂😂😂😂

Entschuldigung? Wer fliegt den dann? :)
