Hyundai has been pursuing AAM development in the US since the beginning of its AAM project. Hyundai set up an urban air mobility (UAM) division in 2019 and revealed its\u00a0S-A1 eVTOL design concept at CES 2020 in Las Vegas. At Uber Elevate Summit in that same year Hyundai announced a partnership with Uber Elevate, making it the first automotive manufacturer to officially join Uber\u2019s urban air mobility vision. Hyundai&#8217;s AAM team include many veterans from the US aerospace industry including the head of the AAM divison and former NASA deputy adminstrator Jaiwon Shin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2021 Hyundai announced to rename its AAM\/UAM division to Supernal headquartered in Washington DC and designated\u00a0Jaiwon Shin to be the CEO. Supernal targets to launch commercial service of AAM in 2028. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/news.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8-1024x731.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8-1024x731.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8-1200x857.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.e-flight-journal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image-8.png 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The AAM\/UAM vision of Hyundai&#8217;s Supernal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the US President Joe Biden&#8217;s visit to South Korea, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Euisun Chung announced that Hyundai is going to invest additional\u00a0$5 billion in the United States\u00a0by 2025 on top of the $5.5 billion investment earmarked for an electric vehicle and the accompanying battery manufactuering facilities announced earlier during the week.
