Santa Ana-based Overair said it has completed the first full-scale prototype of Butterfly, its all-electric vertical takeoff and landing flying taxi and cargo transporter.
The prototype’s initial tests, scheduled to begin early next year, will focus on validating Butterfly’s propulsion systems, flight control mechanics, safety features, and operational efficiency.
“Assembling our first full-scale prototype vehicle marks the culmination of years of industry expertise, meticulous development planning, innovative engineering, and the hard work of the entire Overair team,” Ben Tigner, CEO of Overair, said in a statement today.
