Supernal this week named two key suppliers for its five-seat eVTOL aircraft. Honeywell Aerospace will provide its Anthem integrated flight deck and BAE Systems is developing the flight control systems.

Announcing the partnerships during the NBAA-BACE business aviation trade show in Orlando, the advanced air mobility division of the Korean car maker Hyundai said the SA-1’s cockpit will feature the always-on cloud-based avionics suite that Honeywell introduced in October 2021 as a versatile platform that can be adapted for multiple aircraft types. BAE will work with Supernal to define the requirements and architecture for a lightweight, fly-by-wire system.
