Urban Air Mobility
Hanwha Systems offers the next generation transportation system that will change our future lifestyle
As a global total solution provider for urban air mobility, Hanwha Systems intends to provide the most safe and convenient mobility services. UAM(Urban Air Mobility) is a 3-dimentional urban air transportation system that connects ground and air transports. UAM, the next generation urban transport system, will be able to take passengers or cargos from the city center by air transport means. Thanks to the progress in battery and motor technologies as well as the advent of cutting-edge technologies such as collision avoidance, autopilot, etc., PAV(Personal Aerial Vehicle) is expected to bring a profound change to our way of life. By combing its advanced avionics technologies with ITC capabilities, Hanwha Systems is determined to lead the future mobility market.
Global UAM Solution Provider
With a safe airframe and convenient infrastructure, we will provide the most optimum, integrated UAV services.
Not only for the development of future mobility airframes, but also for services and transport infrastructures, Hanwha Systems is trying to explore business
opportunities from all directions to provide total solutions for the future mobility. Our vision is to become a global UAM solution provider to address all the areas of UAM business.

Technology
- The Most Safe and Efficient Airframe
- Butterfly combines Hanwha Systems’ sensor, radar and avionics technologies with Overair’s patented “energy saving flying technology.”
Butterfly is an e-VTOL(Electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing) air transport vehicle with 4 big rotors and individual blade control,
offering high performing, efficient, stable and low noise functions.
-
- High Performance &
High Efficiency -
Vectored Thrust enables vertical take-off
and landing and ensures high performing,
efficient operation during the flight.
- High Performance &
-
- Highly Stable
-
4 same type of rotors are installed on front
and rear wings. Take-off or landing can be
made even when one of the rotors is out of
order.
-
- Low Noise
- Noise level is 15dB lower than helicopter’s as Butterfly is using optimum control technology for rotor rotation count and each rotor’s tilt, a patented manufacturing technology(OSTR).
- Vectored Thrust: A technology that allows for rotor to change the angle vertically or horizontally, to support efficient flying maneuver. Considered as one of the most complex technologies.
- OSTR(Optimum Speed Tilt Rotor) : Technology to control rotor rotation counts and angles to obtain the optimum airframe function.
Key Technology
- Tilt Rotor Technology Enabling Low Noise, High Efficiency, Optimum Speed Operation
- Unlike the existing helicopters, 4 large rotors are installed on front and rear wings, making it possible to change angles from vertical direction for take-off and to horizontal one while flying. In other words, Butterfly can operate for longer hours with less energy, achieving high energy efficiency and maintaining fast speed.
