Volocopter has announced the second flight of its Volocopter eVTOL during the Paris Olympics with a flight test within the premises of the World Heritage Palace of Versailles. This flight marks the conclusion of this summer’s multi-day operational validation test campaign at the Aerodrome of Saint-Cyr-l’Ecole and Versailles, says the company. “Volocopter and its partners aspire to return to Paris later in the year to fly our eVTOL aircraft in central Paris,” it said in a press release.
“As dawn broke over Versailles, Volocopter’s aircraft took flight in front of the iconic backdrop of the Grand Trianon and its surrounding gardens,” said a company press release. “The flight was celebrated onsite with the company’s longstanding Parisian partners Groupe ADP and the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), who worked relentlessly to orchestrate this successful flight. The successful execution of this flight reinforces the ultimate attestation of trust in the safety of the aircraft and the Volocopter brand from the French and European aviation authorities, partners, and guests who have witnessed our countless flights around the world.”
