About Us
Urban Air Mobility (UAM), as a subset of the broader Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) concept, promises a paradigm shift in urban transportation capitalizing on the airspace over cities. Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircrafts enable the realization of the UAM concept. The goal of realizing UAM is to reduce traffic congestion in the current traditional land transportation systems, accelerate the development of smart cities, and ultimately increase the comfort and safety of people while maintaining green and sustainable aspects. The timely and successful implementation of UAM is highly dependent on eVTOL Hybrid Electric Propulsion (HEP) technology.
At AZHIR,
- we believe that HEP is the next generation propulsion system that will pave the way for the realization of the UAM concept
- we believe that a 300 kW HEP represents the best power capacity for the implementation and expansion of the UAM concept
- we believe that all possible hydromechanical accessories required for HEP should be replaced with electrical counterparts, especially permanent magnet machines
- we believe that the control system for HEP should be an integrated power and thermal electronics system and the logic should benefit from machine learning and artificial intelligence
- we believe that the use of digital twins is a must to optimize the development of the HEP system technologically and economically

History
AZHIR is the first company established in Iran with the aim of developing HEP and realizing UAM concept.
AZHIR was founded by Kaveh Ghorbanian in 2019 with the aim of developing HEP. The journey began years earlier with informal and small-scale activities focused on aircraft gas turbine engines. Since its formal establishment, AZHIR has evolved into a leading innovator, dedicated to advancing sustainable aviation technologies.
AZHIR provides an end-to-end solution (E2ES) for HEP system
