A major milestone for the future of urban air mobility and air rescue: pilots from the non-profit organization ADAC Luftrettung have, for the first time, operated a VoloCity eVTOL under supervision-supported by the SimX Ground Station.
What makes this achievement unique is that, for the first time worldwide, experienced pilots outside the traditional circle of test pilots have flown such an aircraft using VR-assisted systems.
For the participants, this marked a rare and valuable opportunity: for the first time, they were able to transfer their extensive operational and technical expertise to an entirely new aircraft concept. The tests provided key insights into usability, situational awareness, and the interaction between pilot and ground station.
