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 steel frame serves a purpose: to deliver an unadulterated experience of flight that is safe, efficient, and profoundly beautiful.

Serial No. 001 / The Beginning
The Hungarocopter HC-02.2 holds the German DULV Type Certificate (No. 1022-26 1, issued 27 March 2026), certified to LTF-ULH, the German airworthiness requirements for ultralight helicopters. The type also holds a Hungarian type approval (No. UH_2026_01/1, issued 30 July 2026) and is approved in Poland: the Polish Civil Aviation Authority (ULC) entered it on its list of approved flying device types in July 2026.

Schematic View
Every HC-02 is designed, engineered, and assembled in Hungary — combining Central European precision craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials: a 25CrMo4 steel safety cell and a carbon fibre aeroshell, powered by the Rotax 915 iS.
250 kgUseful payload
90 ktsCruise speed
With a max payload of 250 kg and a cruising speed of 90 kts, the HC-02 redefines what is possible in personal aviation. Built around a 25CrMo4 steel safety cell, encased in an aerodynamic carbon fibre shell.
Freedom Above All
A certified, capable aircraft ready for the full spectrum of personal and professional aviation.
01
Weekend touring, personal transport and point-to-point travel — independent of road infrastructure, from any suitable landing site.
02
Stable hover and a low-vibration airframe suit cinematic, survey, inspection and mapping work.
03
350 km range and economical fuel consumption make comprehensive field inspection and crop monitoring missions highly cost-effective.
04
The low-noise rotor design of the HC-02 reduces acoustic interference, which suits broadcast, documentary and film production.
05
DULV type-certified. Forgiving flight characteristics, modern avionics and an optional removable passenger-side collective make a practical dual-control trainer for UL helicopter licence candidates.
06
Compact footprint, low noise signature and 350 km range suit border, infrastructure and wildlife monitoring without requiring a dedicated airfield.

Certification change: DULV Experimental class
Adding the ERS moves the HC-02 from DULV standard to Experimental class. The aircraft is no longer operated under the standard DULV type certificate. Please consult your national aviation authority regarding operational permissions in your country.
A fully independent, battery-powered 32 kW BLDC motor that can drive the rotor if the engine fails — designed to support a controlled descent and landing.
Proprietary composite design utilizing aerospace carbon fibre and aramid. The monolithic closed-box spar handles extreme loads while the specific profile reduces the noise signature.
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.
