About Supernal

Supernal is Hyundai Motor Group’s eVTOL programme, headquartered in Washington, DC with engineering operations in California. The flagship aircraft is the S-A2 — a piloted, five-seat (1 pilot + 4 passengers) tilt-rotor eVTOL designed for short urban hops at altitudes between 1,000 and 2,000 feet.

Supernal targets a 2028 commercial entry, leveraging Hyundai’s automotive-grade manufacturing scale to drive aircraft cost down — a strategic bet shared by Stellantis/Archer and Toyota/Joby.
