Safety & Technology
Eight rotors. Three flight computers. Twelve battery modules. One promise: no single failure — of any system, at any moment — can bring a VOLANT down. Here is how we engineered that promise.
The Redundancy Stack
Aviation earns trust one layer at a time. Read the diagram from the centre out: every system that keeps you flying is wrapped in another that assumes it might fail.
The pack is split into twelve isolated modules, each with independent cooling, fusing and fire containment. Cells are monitored thousands of times per second — a fault in one module is walled off before it can spread, and the aircraft flies on.
Three independent flight computers vote on every command, running on separated power and data buses. If one disagrees, the other two overrule it instantly — the aircraft never even notices.
Eight rotors, eight motors, eight controllers — no shared shafts, no shared failure. VOLANT climbs, cruises and lands safely with two rotors offline, and we fly that exact scenario in testing, on purpose, every week.
Systems & Intelligence
Redundant hardware is only half the story. Around every flight runs a second, invisible layer — sensing, computing, and coordinating, from the moment you book to the moment you land.
A digital co-pilot on every flight.
Full fly-by-wire envelope protection keeps the aircraft inside proven limits at all times — the controls simply will not accept an unsafe command.

We read the sky before you board.
A live micro-weather network across our vertiports feeds every dispatch decision, so flights only launch into conditions we have already proven.

One sky, shared safely.
VOLANT flies published corridors, deconflicted in real time with city airspace and every other aircraft operating around us.

Trained past the requirement.
Every VOLANT pilot is type-rated on the aircraft and returns to the simulator every month — rehearsing the exact failure cases we engineered against.

Certification & Oversight
“We don’t ask cities to trust us. We ask them to inspect us.”
VOLANT is being designed and certified to the same safety intent as commercial airliners — a target of less than one catastrophic failure per billion flight hours. We are progressing through type certification with Transport Canada, in alignment with FAA and EASA frameworks, and every claim on this page is being demonstrated in our flight-test campaign, not just in simulation.
Systems architecture reviewed line-by-line against aerospace design standards.
CompleteOver ten thousand hours of ground and flight testing across the full operating envelope.
UnderwayFormal airworthiness approval with Transport Canada, harmonised internationally.
In ProgressScheduled service opens on our first dawn routes — waitlist riders board first.
NextOptimism is our brand. Rigour is our culture. The dawn we are building toward only matters if every seat on every flight arrives.
That is why we engineered VOLANT as if our own families board first — because they do. Our engineers, our pilots and their families fly the network before any paying rider ever will, on the same aircraft, under the same weather rules, with nothing waived and nothing skipped.
Ready When You Are
Every layer above exists so that your part is simple: book a seat, watch the sunrise, arrive in minutes.
