Neither appear able to achieve any meaningful forward flight - they're just hovering or pretty much hover taxiing. Then drag of all that framework would cripple the Volocopter's ability to achieve, let alone sustain any significant speed, to say nothing of the form drag of the pod as the pitch angle increased to provide a thrust vector.
Will certification really be posible with no ability to glide (autorotate) in the case of total loss of power? To date I don't belive anything with zero engine-off flying capability is certificated.
Essentially both are simply very large drones from what we've seen here, and thus of very limited use and capability indeed. I can't see any innovative or new capabilities here, just size.
