As Volocopter stakes a claim in Singapore, the Germany-based air taxi developer plans to create a spectacular interactive public exhibition centered around its VoloCity two-seat electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

In partnership with Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education (ITE), the exhibit will offer free tours of the VoloCity air taxi prototype and a 3D scale model of its planned VoloPort facility for air taxi takeoffs and landings. It will be located at the school’s Aerospace Hub, the ITE’s aircraft technician training center.
