Los sueños de los taxis voladores en Europa se desvanecen por falta de financiación

La compañía alemana Volocopter prometió que su aeronave eléctrica de dos plazas, el VoloCity, comenzaría a transportar pasajeros por la ciudad.

While missing that deadline was embarrassing, behind the scenes a more serious issue was playing out - Volocopter was urgently trying to raise fresh investment to keep the firm going.

Now hopes are pinned on China's Geely, which is in talks to take an 85% stake in Volocopter in return for $95m of funding, according to a Bloomberg report. The deal could mean that any future manufacturing would be moved to China.
