A tandem to build a UAM ecosystem


Bristow Group, a global provider of innovative and sustainable vertical flight solutions, and Volocopter, a specialist for urban air mobility (UAM), have signed an agreement to explore and develop passenger and cargo services for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in the USA and the UK.

 

As part of this collaboration, Bristow has placed a firm order for two VoloCity aircraft to be delivered after certification with an option to purchase a further 78 vehicles in the future.

 

Both parties will begin immediate cooperation to build a UAM ecosystem that includes regulatory discussions, infrastructure exploration, and local partnership building.

 

The eVTOL is a rapidly growing segment of electric aviation. With no emissions in flight and an ultra-low noise signature, it opens doors to new routes and service opportunities within urban environments. (cj)
