They promised sky taxis by 2025.

They wowed the world with futuristic prototypes.

They raised over $1 billion in investment.

Now, Volocopter — the pioneer of the eVTOL revolution — has filed for bankruptcy.

In this urgent, eye-opening episode, we unpack the dramatic collapse of a company that once symbolized the future of urban flight. Was it bad timing? Poor business strategy? Overhyped tech? Or did the dream of flying cars simply crash before it could take off?

We dive into:

Why Volocopter failed — despite groundbreaking technology and global buzz

The brutal gap between innovation and profitability in deep tech

How regulation, infrastructure, and public trust slowed adoption

What this means for competitors like Joby, Archer, and Lilium

And the big question: Is the eVTOL dream dead — or just delayed?

This isn’t just about one company’s fall.

It’s a reality check for the entire future-of-flight industry.

🎧 If you believed in flying taxis, silent air taxis over cities, or a Jetsons-style future — this episode will challenge your hopes… and maybe renew them.

Because sometimes, the most revolutionary ideas don’t fail.

They just need more time — and more runway.

Unhone 2025 tak aasman mein taxi chalane ka wada kiya tha۔

Unhone duniya ko apni futurist prototypes se hairan kar diya۔

Unhone $1 billion se zyada ki sarmaya kashi hasil ki۔

Ab، Volocopter — eVTOL inqilab ka aghazi — ne bankruptcy ki darj karwa di hai۔

Is zaroori aur daulat uthane wali qism mein، hum ek aisi company ki zameen dar qism ko samjhayenge jo shahri udan ki mustaqbil ki nishani thi۔ Kya ghalt waqt tha؟ Kya ghalt business strategy thi؟ Kya zayada hype wali taknology thi؟ Ya phir khwab udne wali gariyon ka pehle hi khatam ho gaya؟

Hum jaanayenge:

Volocopter kyun nakaam hui — chahe us ke paas taqameer aur duniya bhar ki tadrees thi

Taqameer aur munafa kamane ke darmiyan sakht farq

Regulation، bunyadi suvidha, aur public trust ne qabool karne mein kaise deri ki

Is ka Joby، Archer, aur Lilium jaise muqablon par kya asar hoga

Aur sab se bara sawal: Kya eVTOL ka khwab khatam ho gaya — ya bas deri se shuru hoga؟

Yeh sirf ek company ki zameen dar qism ki baat nahi hai۔

Yeh puri future-of-flight industry ki haqeeqat ki jaanch hai۔

🎧 Agar aap udne wali taxis، sheheron ke upar khamosh air taxi، ya Jetsons jaisi mustaqbil mein yaqeen rakhte hain — toh yeh episode aap ke ummedon ko chunauti dega… aur shayad unhe dobara janam bhi dega۔

Kyunki kabhi kabhi sab se inqilabi khwab nakaam nahi hote۔

Unhe sirf zyada waqt — aur zyada runway ki zaroorat hoti hai۔
