Christoph WickDie Pleite-Firma #Volocopter hat einen neuen Investor (aus China, aber egal) und träumt weiter vom Flugtaxi. Dabei zeigen Hubschrauber sehr gut, dass VTOL kein massentaugliches Transport-Mittel ist. Und genau wie ein selbstfahrendes elektrisches Auto keinen Stau auflöst, werden selbstfliegende elektrische Hubschrauber kein Verkehrsproblem lösen. Die Gefahren beim Starten und Landen (wahlweise auch einfach “die Physik”) verhindern das. Warum schmeißt man da Geld rein?

@threetails and unlike the grifters of #Volocopter, #Malloy actually make some product that works…
- Obviously not the kind of customers they originally envisioned but aviation is inherently "dual purpose"…
Malloy Aeronautics - Casualty Evacuation - CASEVAC - T400 eVTOL
@threetails yeah, this is an overpriced worse version of the #MalloyHoverbike!

I just doubt that #Volocopter or #Malloy even got #EASA prototype approvals.

Volocopter targets four eVTOL aircraft types in service by 2030 as Diamond takeover bears fruit
Reinvigorated electric air taxi developer Volocopter is confident that it can have four new aircraft types in service by 2030 on the back of its rescue earlier this year by Austria's Diamond Aircraft.
@verdantsquare I guess #Volocopter found new Idiots to #scam since #NEOM is falling apart...

@tk @Greengordon @dyckron yes.
The same folks who wish they could mandate "#Volocopter #ParkingSpace" aka. #Helipad for those who ain't willing to pay a #pilot!
- It's "Transit" for the top 0,1% who can't affort to commute like the top 0,01%!
The entire "market segment" of "urban air mobility" is just antisocial bullshit!

Volocopter’s Bankruptcy Is This the End of eVTOL Dreams
@Greengordon @dyckron yeah, but that would mean people would face #WageWorkers and not have their #classist #segregation that all those rich wankers suffering from #EliteProjection have!
- And people making 6 figures or more can't be expected to use the same transportation as minimum-#Wageworkers. They may have to subject themselves to eye-contact with a homeless person and that would shock them so hard that they may spill their chai latter over their iPad Pro during commute...
The same folks also want #zoox #RoboTaxis & #VoloCopter #FlyingTaxis so they don't have to #tip a driver/pilot or even fake politeness towards a #WageWorker!

tagesschauMöglicher Volocopter-Kauf: China setzt weiter auf Flugtaxis
China will künftig verstärkt Drohnen und Flugtaxis einsetzen. Deshalb hat der Konzern Wanfeng ein Auge auf den insolventen deutschen Flugtaxi-Hersteller Volocopter geworfen. Volocopter hat sich noch nicht geäußert. Von Carolin Voigt.
