World premiere: Volocopter is flying manned! - Dawn of a revolution in urban mobility

Karlsruhe, April 2016. Alexander Zosel said right after his landing.

Start of the Manned Test Flight Program
The first flight of Alexander Zosel marks the beginning of the Volocopter test flight program, which will be conducted in three phases. In the first flight phase, flights at a speed of 25 km/h maximum at low altitude are planned. In the second testing phase, flight maneuvers at a speed of 50 km/h at medium altitude will be executed. Test flights within the third testing phase aim to validate the system at higher altitudes and in the full speed range of the VC200 up to 100 km/h.

Thus, even before the market introduction of the Volocopter, e-volo has proven impressively that these aircraft can already fly almost autonomously today. But until autonomous flights are allowed, the international regulations have to be further adapted, a process that has already been taken up by politicians and the respective authorities.
