Butterfly

Redefining air transportation.
One milestone at time.

Fall 2021 -- Propulsion System Testing, Southern California

Our mantra

Our end goal is unambiguous - give life to a new form of electric aerial mobility that is safe, sustainable, and equitable. These sort of opportunities don't come around often, and thousands of moving pieces must come together to make this a reality. We've been laying the ground work for this journey for the past three decades and know how to roll-up our sleeves and get it done. Since 2018 we've been hard at work bringing Butterfly into existence. Come see where we are in this journey.

Design Origins | Butterfly

Butterfly is designed based on decades of technology development with stakeholders such as the US Department of Defense and NASA to produce the most advanced flight vehicles in the world. Butterfly applies this technology to the commercial market, providing the right vehicle for advanced aerial mobility (AAM).

Agile Development

Technical risk paid down early and often.

Coming soon- Full-scale Flight Vehicle

Having already flown two sub-scale versions of Butterfly and currently putting propulsion system through the ringer on the ground, the next step in our journey is the most exciting yet.
