Hyundai highlighted its dedication to the creation of vertical-takeoff aircraft during the annual CES tech exhibition in Las Vegas, where the announcement was made. The aircraft is scheduled to launch in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noiseless_Engine_and_Trial_Flights\"><\/span>Noiseless Engine and Trial Flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Later this year, test flights are planned for the eight-propeller S-A2 Air Taxi.

An early version was shown at CES four years ago by the South Korean firm. But until today, there haven&#8217;t been many updates on the flying machine. Uber sold the division to Joby Aviation in 2020, but owing to adjustments brought on by the pandemic, Hyundai said that it intended to incorporate the air taxi into the Uber platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read More : <a href=\"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/hyperos-review\/\">HyperOS Review: Xiaomi Establishes a New Android Benchmark in Fluidity.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Competitive_Air_Mobility_and_Advancements\"><\/span>Competitive Air Mobility and Advancements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyundai.com\/worldwide\/en\/newsroom\/detail\/supernal-debuts-evtol-product-concept-at-ces-2024-0000000395\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S-A2 Air Taxi<\/a> is built for 40\u201360 km flights, needing a human pilot with training, according to Hyundai&#8217;s AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) division.

The aircraft, which is estimated to cost between $190,000 and $260,000, will be delivered in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyundai S-A2 Air Taxi : Hyundai, a vehicle manufacturer, has formally unveiled the S-A2 Air Taxi, a four-passenger air taxi &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Hyundai to Present S-A2 Air Taxi at 2024 CES\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/hyundai-to-present-s-a2-air-taxi\/#more-1423\" aria-label=\"Read more about Hyundai to Present S-A2 Air Taxi at 2024 CES\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1426,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[83,84],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_20240115_183643.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1423"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gopengit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
