  • Overair's Butterfly eVTOL is ready to test fly and it may set a new benchmark for flying taxis.  Here are some key facts:
  • Developer is California startup Overair, whose parent company Karem Aircraft has been building vertical lift vehicles for the US military for 20 years
  • Carries a pilot and 5 passengers plus their luggage
  • Top speed:  200 mph
  • Range:  100 miles
  • Company claims to lead the industry in noise reduction at less than 55 decibels 
  • Propulsion:  3 bladed rotors; 2 on the wings and 1 on the tail
  • Rotars tilt from horizontal to vertical position for vertical or horizontal flight
  • Big differentiator: Big rotors that are 20 feet wide designed to produce more power, efficiency and range than competing flying taxis
  • The propellers are 2-times the size of any other eVTOL
  • All electric and zero emissions
  • Butterfly now is starting extensive flight tests
  • It's an eVTOL designed for uses like passenger, cargo and medical treatment travel
  • This is of interest to investors to watch and do their own due diligence on.
