E-volo’s Volocopter is a revolution in aviation Made in Germany. Safer, simpler, and cleaner than normal helicopters, it has a unique way of moving a groundbreaking innovation with its environmentally friendly and emission free private helicopter. Instead of one combustion engine, eighteen electrically driven is used.
A completely novel vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) manned aircraft, which cannot be classified in any known category. Because of the fact that it was conceived of as a purely electrically powered aircraft sets it apart from conventional aircrafts.
The safe landing of the volocopter even if some drives fail is by the use of its many propellers, It can take off and land vertically like a helicopter. A considerable advantage, apart from the simple construction and without redundancy of drivers and complex mechanics.
This works on the principle of fly-by-wire by means of a joystick. This operation is similar to child’s play. It takes off and lands vertically and so the pilot no needs pays full attention to the flight path angle, minimum speed, stall, mixture control, pitch adjustment and many other things which make conventional plane.
The entire ascending force was generated by a propeller, by means of a selective change in rotary speed they simultaneously take care of the steering. Furthermore, as opposed to helicopters, no mechanical pitch control of the propellers is necessary in this aircraft. The rotation speed of each drive separately controls the automatic position and the directional control take place by means of several independent and mutually monitoring airborne computers. Additional pusher propeller enables an even faster flight but it not mandatory.
