Volocopter Faces Setback as Air Taxi Service at Paris Olympics Delayed

Volocopter won't be operating air taxis at the Paris Olympics due to engine certification delays. The German startup planned to transport passengers, including French President Macron, on eVTOL vehicles. Test flights without passengers will still take place in Saint Cyr l’Ecole. Volocopter aims to draw global attention to its technology, despite facing criticism for being an elite transport solution. The company needs millions in funding to bring its aircraft to market and plans for further test flights in Paris.
