Default Volocopter - safest aircraft in the world

Just an amazing development and a futuristic kind of Ultralight-Helicopter.
Speeking about a new German development, an electrically powered multicopter with 18-electric motors. The craft is steered with a single joystick only.. Taking "hands off the joystick" during flight, the Volocopter VC200 remaines "just as nailed down to the sky", holding its position and height automatically.
In addition, the VC200 will be the first and only aircraft in the world, which could easily be flown and handled by disabled pilots too, without prior extensive and costly modifications of the craft.
Compared to any other type of aircraft, handling the 18-engine Volocopter is extremely simple.

Best regards from Germany
