Hyundai Motor Group aims to begin initial test flights of its electric air taxi by the end of the year as the world’s third-largest carmaker joins the race to develop the next generation of transport.
The South Korean company will apply for certification of the vehicle in the US by the middle of 2024 with the goal of starting technology demonstrator flights by the end of the year, according to Shin Jaiwon, chief executive officer of Supernal, the Hyundai unit developing the craft. The company plans to launch formal service in 2028 after meeting testing requirements to ensure it’s ready for the public.
