The Hyundai Group, manufacturers of many of our favorite electric cars, has set its sights on becoming a leader in electric aircraft. At CES 2024, Hyundai’s advanced air mobility wing Supernal pulled back the curtain on its new, second-generation S-A2, an electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOL, air taxi. The Korean company announced that it’ll take to the air as early as 2028.
Hyundai has been working on the eVTOL for a few years now. You may remember at CES 2020 it first debuted the Hyundai Urban Air Mobility SA-1 in partnership with Uber Air. At the time, first flights were estimated to begin around 2023. Today, Uber Air is no more, Hyundai Urban Air Mobility is now Supernal and its second-generation S-A2 has shifted the hyphen in its name and its expected launch window.
