“Volocopter, Euro Flight Test Sign MOU to Launch World’s First eVTOL Training Courses”
Volocopter, now owned by China-based Wanfeng Group, has announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Euro Flight Test (EFT) to launch “the world’s first eVTOL training courses,” reports a Linkedin post.
This pioneering collaboration aims to set new standards in pilot training and familiarisation with eVTOL aircraft.
The courses will include:-
: Ground-based eVTOL Familiarisation.
: Remote Controlled Drone Training.
: Flight Test for Pilots.
: Comprehensive eVTOL Training Modules.
According to Wanfeng, a joint supervision team has already been formed consisting of aircraft developers, senior test flight instructors and safety consultants.
David Bausek, CTO at Volocopter, commented, ”We are thrilled to partner with Euro Flight Test to launch these pioneering eVTOL training courses.”
The partners are working to refine four core modules covering eVTOL systems and operations, drone training, pilot flight testing and hands-on eVTOL flight training.
Facilities and equipment are being prepared to support classroom instruction, simulation and practical flight operations.
The program is scheduled to open for enrolment early next year. The first group of participants are expected to include airline pilots, technical specialists and regulatory officials.
Wanfeng state, “The program is to provide a standardised pathway for pilot training in the eVTOL sector and mark a milestone in the development of urban air mobility.”
