E-volo is debuting its new electric-powered VTOL, the Volocopter 2X, at Aero, in Friedrichshafen, Germany, this week. The new version of the company's two-seat multicopter represents the "evolution of the VC200 prototype towards everyday use," the company said. The 2X has been developed for approval as an ultralight aircraft and is expected to be certified as a Sport Aircraft under a newly created "Multicopter" type category in Germany next year. The new sporty design includes glazed doors and optional leather seats, plus a new battery replacement system that allows for a quick swap in just a few minutes.
