Despite the gloomy, forbidding skies glowering over Marina Bay like a bad omen, Volocopter managed to conduct a maiden test flight this afternoon (Oct 22) — if only for a brief moment before the rain started pouring again.
Earlier today, German air taxi pioneer Volocopter and UK-based urban air mobility infrastructure firm Skyports officially opened a prototype of the world’s first flying taxi airport, dubbed VoloPort.
The prototype airport is located on the Float @ Marina Bay and hosts a static Volocopter 2X vehicle for display.
As you can see from the tweets by Engadget Senior Editor Richard Lai, the heavy rain very much dampened the start of the event.
