eVTOLs are one of those things that many groups announce their plans to create, but fail to produce in actual physical form. Such is not the case with Overair's Butterfly however, the just-unveiled prototype of which should soon begin flight testing.To recap our previous coverage, the Butterfly is an eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft being developed by Overair, a California-based aeronautical startup. Overair's parent company, Karem Aircraft, has been involved in a number of vertical-lift-related US…

Advanced air mobility startup Overair is celebrating a significant milestone this morning, completing its first full-scale Butterfly eVTOL prototype ahead of flight testing in 2024. With its unique rotor design compared to many other eVTOLs, Overair’s electric aircraft looks to achieve commercial operations in multiple countries. Overair is an advanced air mobility (AAM) specialist based in Santa Ana, California, that was spun out of Karem Aircraft in 2020. In three short years, the Overair team…

Less than a month after announcing three separate partnerships to establish electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) operations in South Korea, zero-emission aviation developer Overair is turning its sights back on its native US. Today, Overair has shared news of two separate memorandums to research, develop, and implement eVTOL operations in North Texas. Overair is an advanced air mobility (AAM) specialist based in Santa Ana, California, that was spun out of Karem Aircraft back in 2020. Since…

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer Overair has announced the acquisition of an additional $145 million in funding from aircraft technology specialists Hanwha Systems and Hanwha Aerospace. In addition to its continued investment, Hanwha will provide electric motors and battery packs for Overair’s Butterly eVTOL prototypes, which remain on track to take to the sky next year. Overair is an advanced air mobility specialist based in Santa Ana, California, that was spun out of Karem Aircraft in…

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) developer Overair announced a partnership with Urban Movement Labs (UML) to help expedite urban air mobility (UAM) in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The partnership is one of several with UML to collaborate with the city of Los Angeles to eventually implement eVTOL technology. Overair is a Santa Ana, California-based advanced air mobility specialist spun out of Karem Aircraft in 2020. The Overair team used its decades of combined aerospace experience to develop its…
