Volocopter空中德士首轮试飞成功,预计最快两年内推出

德士服务在世界各地都是相当重要的交通服务,因此各国都曾提出空中德士的技术,希望能避开道路上交通拥挤的状况,但都流于空谈。如今该技术也逐步实现。德国公司Volocopter昨日在滨海湾一带顺利完成试飞,预计最快两年内在我国推出。

配合首次在新加坡举办的智能交通系统世界大会,该试飞行动在期间进行公开展示,以目前两人座位eVTOL型号“Volocpter2X”试飞,机上仅一位机师操作完成,没有乘客,以平均40米高度,在滨海湾一带飞行逾1.5公里,约三分钟左右。

在飞行之前,该飞机已经在德国进行了几个月的密集测试。随后,在Seletar机场按照新加坡民航局进行了严格的飞行测试程序,验证Volocopter 2X飞机在当地环境下的性能。

据了解,当前空中德士服务仍十分昂贵,待全面运作后,价格料会减少至约豪华德士的费用。此外,该公司也与英国SkyPort公司合作,打造空中德士机场。

该机场将以模块方式打造,让更多空中德士能够同时起降。Skyport透露,目前已找寻到一些合适的地点用于建设厅机场以及制定飞行路线。

创建于2011年的Volocopter拥有丰富的电动垂直起降飞行技术,该公司一直在探索空中电动出行服务,已经有许多空中电动出行服务试飞成功的经验。2017年,Volocopter曾与迪拜道路运输管理局合作,将两座空中德士试飞成功。2018年,Volocopter亦在芬兰赫尔辛基国际机场试飞成功。

今年9月,Volocopter更与浙江吉利控股集团成立合资公司,致力于将全球领先的城市空中出行解决方案引入中国,吉利将负责Volocopter产品在中国的生产和市场推广。
