“S-A2” by Supernal, the electric aircraft of the future

Redazione

It’s called the “S-A2,” and for now, it’s just a concept—a concrete vision of what a future eVTOL aircraft might look like, designed to operate in urban areas as a new mobility solution. Developed by Supernal, part of Hyundai Motor Group, the aircraft can carry one pilot and four passengers, reaching a maximum speed of 190 km/h at an altitude of over 450 meters. This height is sufficient for urban operations worldwide, considering that currently, only 23 skyscrapers exceed 450 meters, and aside from Central Park Tower and One World…
