Operational pilots from ADAC Luftrettung have successfully completed supervised flights of a VoloCity eVTOL using the SimX Groundstation in a real-world environment.

The trials represent a global first, as the aircraft was controlled by experienced operational pilots rather than specialized test pilots. By utilizing virtual reality-supported ground station technology, the project aims to demonstrate that electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) operations are becoming scalable and practical for future deployment in emergency services.

The flight tests focused on several critical technical areas, including the transferability of existing helicopter and fixed-wing pilot experience to eVTOL systems. Engineering teams also evaluated the efficiency of the ground control station and the seamless interaction between the aircraft, the pilot, and the supporting ground infrastructure.

The results of these maneuvers provide a technical foundation for establishing new safety standards and operational procedures.

Aaron Erd, Project Lead Multicopter at ADAC Luftrettung, said, “This first flight is a crucial step in making eVTOL technology accessible for practical use.”

The feedback from the pilots involved emphasized the maturity of the flight control systems.

Matthias Sing, Head of Engineering and Helicopter Pilot at ADAC Luftrettung, added, “The aircraft is highly stable and responds precisely to inputs — a solid platform for future pilot operations.”

By integrating decades of air rescue expertise with modern simulation and control interfaces, the project seeks to accelerate the development of training concepts for the next generation of urban air mobility.
