German eVTOL developer Volocopter has jumped to the number-one ranking on SMG Consulting’s Advanced Air Mobility Reality Index, overtaking long-time front-runner Joby Aviation, which is now tied with EHang and Beta Technologies in second place.
The large hangar at the company's airfield base in Bruchsal will be used to manufacture carbon fiber parts and electric propulsion units, as well as for final assembly of its family of eVTOL vehicles.
