Volocopter has finalized the optimization and realignment of its supply chain to support the research, development, industrial scalability and production of its 볼로시티 and VoloXPro electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The reorganization focused on the research, development, and production phases for the VoloCity and VoloXPro models. By auditing new suppliers and restructuring existing contracts, the company aims to improve cost competitiveness, quality, and safety standards. This modular approach is designed to meet the technical requirements of the emerging urban air mobility market.
While the supply chain restructuring is complete, the delivery of certain key components continues to face extended lead times. To manage these fluctuations in the delivery schedule, the company is implementing short-term work arrangements. These flexible organizational measures allow the firm to maintain its workforce while adapting to the current availability of parts.
David Bausek, commented, “The successful completion of the realignment phase has led to further improvements in our products. To effectively manage our teams during the delivery of parts and components, we will use the tool of short-term work as well as other flexible organizational instruments. However, this does not change our development and certification goals.”
The certification timeline for the company’s flagship aircraft remains on schedule. The VoloXPro, which targets the Light Sports eVTOL segment for end-consumers, is expected to receive certification by the end of 2026. The VoloCity, designed for urban passenger transport, is slated for EASA certification in 2027.
To support these goals, the company will establish a sandbox environment later this year. This isolated test bed will simulate realistic flight operations for both aircraft models. The project seeks to position the region as a leader in the implementation of eVTOL technology through the integrated testing and production of urban air mobility solutions.
