Hyundai's advanced air mobility company, Supernal, unveiled its electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, the S-A2, with plans to launch passenger shuttles by 2028. The company has grown to a 600-person team and is leveraging the resources of Hyundai Motor Group and aviation suppliers to work towards commercialization. The S-A2 will undergo FAA certification and testing in California this year, with a design for suburban to inner city travel at 120 mph and 1,500-foot altitude. The aircraft is designed to operate at 65 decibels during takeoff and landing and 45 decibels while cruising, with a modular interior to accommodate future battery replacements.
