Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, has unveiled its aerial vehicle project at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show 2024 in Las Vegas.
Named S-A2, the Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (EVTOL) flying vehicle can carry four passengers including the pilot at a time.
Featuring a V-tail aircraft design, the ride is capable of flying at an altitude of 1,500 feet at a speed of 193 kmph, a feature that makes it ideal for daily urban commuting between 40 to 65 km. Is.
Featuring a distributed electric propulsion architecture and eight tilting rotors, this flying vehicle provides a quiet and smooth aerial experience. During vertical take-off and landing, the SA-2 emits just 65 decibels (about the same as a dishwasher). While it produces only 45 decibels of sound during flight.
In addition, safety has been given special priority in the form of a strong airframe structure for the ride.
According to Supernel’s head of manufacturing strategy, Neil Marshall, the major factors limiting vehicle range in the industry are interior space and weight. Battery power is also considered a major issue in this regard.
Neil Marshall says the vehicle is expected to be approved in 2026.
