Diamond Aircraft Industries integrates Volocopter into its business portfolio, with focus to achieve certification goals this year

Dia­mond Air­craft Indus­tries has inte­grat­ed Volo­copter into its busi­ness port­fo­lio, which enables the Ger­man eVTOL OEM to reduce its cost, retain its work­force and focus on achiev­ing its cer­ti­fi­ca­ton mile­stones this year.

In a short press release released by Volo­copter today (Fri­day), Volo­copter’s head­quar­ters will remain in Bruch­sal, Ger­many. No fur­ther details have been shared about the next steps in regards to its VoloC­i­ty air­craft, but the news is sure to be wel­comed by the indus­try.

Tobias Wahl, insol­ven­cy admin­is­tra­tor and part­ner at Anchor Recht­san­walts­ge­sellschaft mbH, said: “Volo­copter’s exper­tise and high­ly moti­vat­ed team have con­sis­tent­ly set bench­marks in the eVTOL indus­try.

“With Dia­mond Air­craft, we have found a strong strate­gic part­ner who will build on this foun­da­tion. My spe­cial thanks go to the employ­ees for their spir­it and com­mit­ment. I am grate­ful that the team can car­ry on with their impact­ful work in the Euro­pean econ­o­my.” 

Dia­mond Air­craft is a sub­sidiary of Wan­feng Air­craft Divi­sion of Wan­feng Auto Hold­ing Group Co., Ltd., and is an inter­na­tion­al­ly renowned gen­er­al air­craft man­u­fac­tur­er with over four decades of exper­tise oper­at­ing inter­na­tion­al­ly.

The company’s reor­ga­ni­za­tion of Volo­copter will broad­ens its air­craft and busi­ness port­fo­lio into the field of elec­tric urban air trans­porta­tion.

The VoloC­i­ty, along with its next-gen­er­a­tion vari­ants and oth­er mod­els, will con­tin­ue to evolve suc­cess­ful­ly over the long term, con­tribut­ing sig­nif­i­cant­ly to the sus­tain­able growth of the avi­a­tion indus­try.

Bin Chen, Chair­man of Dai­mond Air­craft Group, added: “The future of avi­a­tion is shaped by vision­ar­ies. Dia­mond’s broad port­fo­lio is fur­ther strength­ened by Volo­copter, the VoloC­i­ty, and future mod­els.

“Togeth­er, we are cre­at­ing the foun­da­tion to fur­ther devel­op sus­tain­able air mobil­i­ty and strength­en Europe as an inno­va­tion hub in avi­a­tion.”
