Beyond passenger transport, Volocopter is also exploring other applications for its eVTOL technology, including cargo delivery and emergency services. The company has established partnerships with various entities, including airlines, airports, and urban planning authorities, to pave the way for the integration of air taxis into existing transportation networks. Regulatory approval remains a key milestone for the widespread adoption of Volocopter's services. The company envisions a future where eVTOLs seamlessly integrate with ground transportation, offering a new dimension to urban mobility.
