Our take

Overair was spun out of respected legacy company Karem Aircraft, which has spent decades developing Vertical Take-off & Landing (VTOL) programs for military use.

Co-founded by Abe Karem, who has designed a number of aircraft including the Boeing A160 Hummingbird, Overair leverages Karem’s core technology and patents to build Butterfly, an electrified – and crucially, quiet – aircraft.

The reason volume is so important to Overair is that it’s aiming to make airborne, urban ride-hailing services an everyday thing, and it’s planning on achieving this very soon. As well as developing its own consumer-facing service, the company is also hoping to sell to third-party operators, from airlines to current ride-hailing leaders Uber and Lyft. However, there’s still a lot of work to do before Overair becomes the airborne ride-hailing service it’s aiming to be.
