The Aircraft

Meet the V‑1

Six electric rotors. Four seats. One quiet promise — the fastest way across the city should also be the calmest.

Anatomy of the V‑1

Everything essential. Nothing loud.

Trace the systems that make vertical flight feel effortless — hover a marker to spotlight each one.

Acoustic Canopy

the city, muted

Wraparound laminated glass tuned to soften rotor tone while opening the whole skyline to the cabin.

03

Battery Deck

fire-isolated, swap-ready cells

A belly-mounted pack in isolated modules, fast-charged to 80% in 30 minutes between flights.

02

Tilting Rotors

six independent lift units

Six electric rotors lift the V‑1 straight up, then tilt forward for efficient wing-borne cruise. Any one can fail safely.

04

Cabin

four seats, first-class pitch

A quiet, climate-preset cabin for four riders and a pilot. Step in flat — no ladder, no squeeze.

Design Details

Engineered like an instrument, finished like furniture.

Every gram, decibel and stitch on the V‑1 earns its place. These are the details riders feel first.

zero emissions in flight

All-Electric Powertrain

Six independent motors deliver instant, silent torque with no single point of failure — and no fuel smell on your morning commute.

quieter than rainfall overhead

Quiet Vertical Flight

Low tip speeds and staggered blade phasing hold the V‑1 to about 45 dBA from the street — conversation-level, not helicopter-level.

A Cabin That Breathes

Panoramic acoustic glazing, climate preset from the app before you arrive, and seat pitch borrowed from first class.

160 km per charge

Range for the Region

Downtown to the airport, city to lakeshore towns — with certified reserve margins built into every flight plan.

Cruise at 280 km/h

After vertical lift, the V‑1 tilts into efficient wing-borne cruise — sipping energy while the highway sits still below.

30-Minute Turnaround

Fast-charge to 80% during the boarding cycle; battery modules are swap-serviceable at every vertiport.

Materials & Philosophy

Light enough to fly. Warm enough to love.

“An aircraft you board twice a day should feel less like a machine and more like a well-made room in the sky.”VOLANT design principles — no. 03

The V‑1 airframe is a carbon-fibre monocoque — the same logic as a racing shell, tuned for ten thousand quiet city flights instead of one loud lap. Stiffness lives exactly where the lift loads travel; everywhere else, material is simply removed.

Inside, we traded aerospace grey for dawn warmth: reclaimed technical textiles, soft-touch surfaces that wear in rather than wear out, and a livery that carries the morning sky — indigo above, peach below.
