Volocopter, Euro Flight Test to Launch eVTOL Training
The training program is slated for early 2026.
Wanfeng Auto Holding Group announced a cooperation agreement between its subsidiary Wanfeng Volocopter and Euro Flight Test to establish standardized eVTOL pilot training.
The memorandum of cooperation was signed on August 29 in Europe. The initiative aims to create a structured training system for eVTOL operations, with the broader goal of supporting the growth of urban air mobility and ensuring safe low-altitude transportation.
According to Wanfeng Group, a joint supervision team has already been formed, consisting of aircraft developers, senior test flight instructors, and safety consultants. The partners are working to refine four core training 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 training program is scheduled to open for enrollment in early 2026. The first group of participants is expected to include airline pilots, technical specialists, and regulatory officials.
The group said the program will provide a standardized pathway for pilot training in the eVTOL sector and mark a milestone in the development of urban air mobility.
