Agile. Efficient. Ready to Fly.
Ultralight Helicopter · Rotax 915 iS · 141 HP
Hungarocopter is the manifestation of a singular vision. Gábor Farkas, Chief Designer and visionary, sought to create a machine where the boundaries between pilot and sky dissolve.
The HC-02 is not mass-produced; it is crafted. Every curve of the carbon fuselage, every weld in the titanium frame serves a purpose: to deliver an unadulterated experience of flight that is safe, efficient, and profoundly beautiful.

Schematic View
Every HC-02 is designed, engineered, and assembled in Hungary — combining Central European precision craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials: titanium safety cell, 25CrMo4 steel structure, and a carbon fibre aeroshell powered by the Rotax 915 iS.
Certifications & Compliance
With a max payload of 250 kg and a cruising speed of 90 kts, the HC-02 redefines what is possible in personal aviation. Constructed with a titanium and 25CrMo4 steel safety cell encased in an aerodynamic carbon fiber shell.
Freedom Above All
A certified, capable aircraft ready for the full spectrum of personal and professional aviation.
Weekend touring, personal transport, and point-to-point travel — unrestricted by road infrastructure. The HC-02 turns any open field into a departure gate.
Low vibration airframe and stable hover make the HC-02 an ideal platform for cinematic, survey, inspection, and mapping operations.
350 km range and economical fuel consumption make comprehensive field inspection and crop monitoring missions highly cost-effective.
The HC-02's patented silent rotor technology minimizes acoustic interference, making it a favourite for broadcast, documentary, and film production.
DULV-certified and PPL-H compatible. Forgiving flight characteristics and modern avionics make the HC-02 an excellent dual-control trainer for UL helicopter license candidates.
Compact footprint, low noise signature, and class-leading range enable border, infrastructure, and wildlife monitoring missions without requiring a dedicated airfield.
A fully independent, battery-operated 32 kW BLDC motor backup. In the rare event of engine failure, the ERS instantly engages the rotor, ensuring a controlled, safe descent.
Patented composite design utilizing aerospace carbon fiber and aramid. The monolithic closed-box spar handles extreme loads while the specific profile reduces noise signature to industry-leading lows.
Experience the world from a vantage point few achieve. The HC-02's exceptional climb rate and stable hover capabilities open up a new dimension of flight.
