Hyundai subsidiary Supernal is developing a four-passenger eVTOL aircraft to enter service in 2028.

Blade Air Mobility and eVTOL aircraft developer Supernal are exploring how they will launch commercial advanced air mobility (AAM) services. Through a partnership announced in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the companies said they will study various early use cases, gathering data that will shape how the Hyundai subsidiary completes development of the four-passenger aircraft it aims to bring to market in 2028.

In a related announcement on the first day of the NBAA-BACE show, business aviation group Clay Lacy Aviation said it is working with Supernal to prepare its FBOs to receive eVTOL aircraft. Initially, the companies will focus their efforts on Clay Lacy’s bases at John Wayne Orange County and Van Nuys airports in Southern California before rolling out services across the wider U.S. network.
