Two eVTOL vehicles recently completed separate public flight demonstrations in Rome, Italy, and Dubai, UAE, marking a key advance in the progress of electric powered vertical takeoff and landing aircraft toward regulatory certification and public acceptance. The Rome flight included a test pilot.
One of the flights took place at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport near Rome and was a collaboration among German eVTOL maker Volocopter, the Roman airport authority and mobility infrastructure companies UrbanV and Atlantia.
