VoloRegion
Lift + cruise: 6 lift rotors + 2 propulsion fans; city-to-suburb concept
Volocopter's four-seat lift + cruise concept for city-to-suburb trips, first flown as the VoloConnect demonstrator in May 2022 and renamed VoloRegion in October 2022. Volocopter's page still lists it, with design targets of up to 4 passengers, up to 100 km, 180 km/h cruise and 250 km/h max. Since the March 2025 takeover by Diamond Aircraft, Volocopter's announcements cover only VoloCity and VoloXPro, and no current VoloRegion development or timeline has been announced.
