OUR HIGH FLIER:
THE VOLOCOPTER 2X
THE WORLD’S FIRST MANNED, FULLY ELECTRIC AND SAFE VTOL
18 quiet rotors, simple operation using a single joystick and the highest degree of reliability using superior design: The Volocopter 2X turns the vision of “flight for all” into reality. No combustion engine, no noise, no complex mechanics. Just step on board, fly off and arrive in comfort. Welcome to today’s innovative mobility concept.
THE VOLOCOPTER 2X IN DETAIL
SUPREME SAFETY
The Volocopter 2X incorporates superior design systems in all critical areas assuring the highest degree of reliability. This encompasses propellers, electric motors, battery packs, electronics, displays and much more. In addition, all communication networks are connected via the latest optical fibers - in other words “fly-by-light”. There are also numerous support systems for flight control and stabilization. Also on board, although you will never require it, is an emergency parachute.

ESPECIALLY QUIET
On experiencing the new Volocopter 2X in action for the first time, you will be astounded, by howquiet it is. Because all 18 rotors acoustically operate within a narrow frequency band they appear to the human ear to be only twice as loud as one single rotor. In contrast, a helicopter is numerous times louder with its main and tail rotors as well as its turbine. For comparison: A Volocopter 2X within 75 meters distance is as quiet as the smallest helicopter within 500 meters distance, that is a factor of 7!

A REALITY TODAY
The Volocopter is the world’s first multicopter to be granted a certification for manned flights - as early as 2016. It fulfils stringent German and international safety standards. From the end of 2017 the Volocopter will get to prove this in Dubai: At the first ever autonomous air taxi test run in the history of aviation.

SO SIMPLE
Flight has never been so easy. Only a short induction is required to operate the Volocopter. The reason: The latest support systems and more than 100 microprocessors automatically ensure perfect stability and control of the multicopter. Whether it is altitude control, balance or landing, the Volocopter 2X can easily and intuitively be operated by a single joystick. Even if the pilot lets go of the joystick, the multicopter will retain its prevailing position fully automatically. Even better, in areas in which autonomous operations are possible, it can simply fly on its own.

COST EFFECTIVE
The Volocopter 2X sets new benchmarks not just in terms of reliability and simplicity, but also where cost effectiveness is concerned. Fuel is replaced by economic (and increasingly sustainably generated) electricity. On top of this, requirements for maintenance, repair and overhaul are reduced to a minimum through the avoidance of complex mechanical components. The simple and intuitive operation also does away with the need for an extra pilot. The Volocopter just flies by itself.

CHARACTERISTICALLY GERMAN
We like perfection, precision and reliability. This applies also to the Volocopter 2X which incorporates each and every one of these characteristics. After all, everything was planned, developed and built at the German company headquarters in Bruchsal. From the initial idea to the software and electronic components through to the latest version.

THE FASCINATION OF ELECTRIC
The Volocopter is the first ever fully electric and manned multicopter with a permit to fly. This means no combustion engine, no fuel and no emissions as a result. Instead, the on-board systems and 18 electric drives are supplied by 9 high capacity batteries. The perfect sustainable alternative mobility solution for the city: Fast, simple and environmentally friendly.

EXCLUSIVE INTERIOR
Your journey in the Volocopter 2X begins before takeoff. Two very tall persons will find it convenient to embark and disembark and to sit in comfort in the luxurious leather seats during their flight. A high quality cockpit and a pleasantly quiet and vibration proof cabin round up the overall exclusive impression of the Volocopter.
