Hyundai’s eVTOL division, Supernal, has revealed a new product concept at CES, aiming to revolutionize urban air mobility.
The S-A2 prototype boasts impressive specs, including a top speed of 120mph, an altitude of 1,500 feet, and a range of 25-40 miles, making it ideal for short trips between downtown areas and airports.
With eight tilt rotors and a sleek design, this electric aircraft promises quiet operations, emitting only 65 decibels during takeoff and landing, and 45dB while cruising.
Supernal joins a handful of companies striving to replace traditional helicopters and regional aircraft with eco-friendly, multi-rotor vehicles.
Although the industry has faced turbulence, including startups shutting down and regulatory hurdles, Supernal’s ties to Hyundai offer a manufacturing advantage.
The company’s focus on battery technology and design innovation will be crucial in overcoming the challenges of electric flight, such as the power-to-weight ratio.
The S-A2 concept features a minimalist interior with premium leather upholstery, envisioning a comfortable travel experience. The design is clean and modern, with lighting intended to create a sense of spaciousness.
Supernal’s vision for urban air mobility is ambitious, with plans for production by 2028. As the industry continues to evolve, Supernal is poised to play a remarkable role, alongside industry giants like Stellantis, United, Delta, Boeing, and NASA.
With its sights set on certification and commercialization, Supernal is committed to making electric flight a reality. The company’s dedication to innovation and sustainability could transform the way we travel, reducing emissions and noise pollution.
As the urban air mobility market takes shape, Supernal’s S-A2 concept is an exciting development, promising a future where electric aircraft zip through city skies, revolutionizing transportation.
