Overair Butterfly-shaped eVTOL electric air-taxi full-scale prototype is complete and ready for flying tests.
Butterfly isn’t just another flying vehicle, it’s a symbol of cutting-edge tech and transportation for everyone. Butterfly is quieter than any other aircraft in its class, with noise levels under 55 decibels.
Inside the roomy cabin, there’s space for a pilot, five passengers, and their belongings. The flexible cabin design means Butterfly can be used for different purposes like charters, medical transport, and carrying cargo.
Overair’s proven VTOL technologies drive Butterfly’s unique performance capabilities:
20+ ft propellers are twice as large as any eVTOLs, with the potential for scaling into a larger aircraft
200% excess power margins through low disk loading, electric engine sizing, and battery systems sizing
Best-in-class maneuverability and stability, especially in off-nominal conditions like wind or rain
Enhanced by FBW envelope-protection
Ability to hover with only 2 of 4 propellers and quad-redundant architecture on key systems
The versatile aerial mobility platform is capable of a wide range of use cases and applications:
Commuter: Efficient cabin designed for high–tempo operations
Leisure: High comfort configuration for a premium experience
Medical Transport: Critical patient transport and organ transfer
Cargo: Designed for middle-mile logistics with high cargo volumetric efficiency
Military: Highly customizable for tactical or logistic missions
