Started out as a rather crude and dangerous multi-rotor flying rig, e-volo’s first aircraft has evolved into Volocopter VC200 which made its unmanned flight late last year. Fast forward to 2016, this VTOL personal air transportation vehicle has achieved yet another milestone: armed with the permit-to-fly in Germany, it made […]

Instead of buying a kit helicopter like most people do, GasTurbine101 created a manned multicopter that actually flies. Don’t expect […]
