Based in Bruchsal, Germany, and founded in 2011 and founded by Alexander Zosel and Stephan Wolf, Volocopter GmbH operates as an urban air mobility company that manufactures an electric multi-rotor helicopter taxi. In December 2024, Volocopter GmbH files for bankruptcy protection.

Volocopter GmbH's product portfolio includes VoloCity, which is an air mobility transportation system. VoloPort is where urban air mobility landed. VoloDrone is a gadget carrier or freight drone for the logistics and infrastructure sectors. VoloIQ also provides full digital visibility into the complicated UAM ecosystem in real-time.
