This white paper from Volocopter outlines their roadmap for making urban air mobility (UAM) a reality at scale. It details Volocopter's holistic "ecosystem approach" to UAM, leveraging partnerships to build out the necessary components, including vehicles, infrastructure, operations, airspace integration, public acceptance, and more. The paper argues that strong partnerships are key to successfully launching and scaling UAM services in cities worldwide.
Volocopter, a pioneer in urban air mobility, has published a comprehensive white paper titled "The Roadmap to Scalable Urban Air Mobility". The document serves as a strategic roadmap for implementing a UAM ecosystem that will enable affordable, safe, and convenient electric air taxi services in cities worldwide.
As the first eVTOL developer to receive Design Organisation Approval from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), Volocopter will launch commercial services with its VoloCity aircraft in the next 2-3 years. However, the white paper emphasizes that scaling operations efficiently requires establishing an integrated ecosystem of partners across the UAM value chain.
The UAM market is projected to reach €241 billion by 2035, with over half coming from passenger mobility services that Volocopter will provide with its VoloCity air taxis. Putting customers first and ensuring the highest safety standards will be paramount to capturing this opportunity.
Volocopter's partnership approach addresses the complex challenges of building out the UAM ecosystem in areas like vehicle development, physical and digital infrastructure, airspace integration, public acceptance, and more. By distributing effort and investment across expert partners, this strategy provides a concrete and de-risked path to implementing UAM at scale.
Looking ahead, increasing automation and autonomy, enabled by a robust digital platform called VoloIQ, will drive higher efficiency and lower costs to democratize access to UAM. With its leading certification progress, holistic ecosystem approach, and focus on partnerships, Volocopter is well positioned to be the first to bring the immense benefits of electric air taxi services to cities around the globe.
