Hyundai’s urban air mobility subsidiary Supernal has partnered with Honeywell Aerospace to develop ground control stations for uncrewed and remotely piloted aircraft such as Supernal’s eVTOL aircraft. 

Supernal plans to certify a piloted, four-passenger version of its eVTOL air taxi, called the SA-1, which is expected to enter into service in 2028. Eventually, the company aims to introduce a six-seat version of the aircraft that would fly without pilots on board.
