Supernal's full-scale eVTOL aircraft undergoes ground tests at Mojave Air and Space Port, a big step in sustainable aviation development.
Supernal, a Hyundai subsidiary, is conducting ground tests on a full-scale electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft at the Mojave Air and Space Port in California. This technology demonstrator represents a significant step in the company’s efforts to develop next-generation air mobility solutions, focusing on sustainable aviation and urban air transport.
Originally constructed for the development of the Roton reusable launch vehicle, the site is well-suited for testing experimental aerospace technologies. The infrastructure, designed for vertical launch and recovery operations, is proving to be an ideal environment for the iterative design and testing processes required for eVTOL development.The presence of Supernal’s eVTOL outdoors, secured to the ground and connected to an air conditioning system, indicates that powered testing is imminent.
