Hyundai’s Supernal and Embraer-backed Eve Air Mobility are developing electric aircraft that take off and land vertically.

“Ground transportation is evolving and improving, but to support all the mobility demands of … people in urban areas, ground transport will not be sufficient,” Supernal’s CEO Shin Jaiwon said in an interview.

Hyundai’s advanced air mobility unit Supernal and Embraer-backed Eve Air Mobility hope to officially launch electric-powered air taxis within the next two to four years.

Supernal’s S-A2 electric aircraft, equipped with eight rotors, is designed to carry a pilot and four passengers.

Supernal plans to test its first full-scale technology demonstration version in California this year and is in contact with the U.S.
