UAM
Pioneering sustainable urban air mobility
Taking off with a new generation of aircraft, Hanwha Systems is remapping the flight path of urban air mobility (UAM). Through a strategic partnership with Overair, a US electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) startup, we are developing Butterfly, a personal air vehicle, and working on ground tests for an electric propulsion system, a key technology for UAM. Butterfly is an all–electric vehicle with patented low–noise technology, which is expected to be an eco–friendly tool for urban transport in the future. As an influential force in the burgeoning UAM market, we are working toward providing a wide range of UAM solutions for future–friendly air mobility vehicles, services and infrastructure.
