As it aggressively pursues a future where flying taxis carry people and cargo between busy urban centers, German aviation startup Volocopter has ticked off an important milestone not just for itself, but the industry as a whole. At the Oshkosh air show in Wisconsin on Tuesday, the company sent its all-electric Volocopter 2X into the sky for a four-minute flight, successfully completing the first public crewed test flight of an eVTOL in the US.
Volocopter has been flying the many iterations of its 18-rotor all-electric aircraft for many years, following more than 100 uncrewed tests with the very first crewed flight in Germany in 2016. The company has since gone on to fly its aircraft in crewed and uncrewed flights over Singapore Bay and Dubai, and even lifted off momentarily onstage at CES in Las Vegas in 2018.
