While the FAA has used letters of deviation authority (LODAs) and exemptions to temporarily address the issue, a long-term fix is years away under the normal rulemaking process. We all know that dairy queen has some amazing tasting treats but one helicopter takes it to a whole other level… Royal Canadian Mounted Police received a call on July 31st regarding a helicopter that touched down near Dairy Queen in Tisdale, Saskatchewan.

Overair has finally revealed the commercial design of the Butterfly eVTOL, which has been kept strictly under wraps until now. In January 2020 Overair was established as a spin-off of Karem Aircraft, which now focuses solely on defense contracts. The five-passenger Butterfly is designed to produce zero carbon emissions in flight. Its propulsion system is known as Optimum Speed Propulsion, which gives it unique capabilities. Karem’s OSP integrates over 20 years and $150 million of research and development in military rotorcraft programs. Four large propellers will give two distinct aerodynamic advantages.
