Hyundai-backed Supernal Spells Out Its Plans For eVTOL Air Taxi Services - FutureFlight

[@dalumuzidube990]

Looks like Archer's midnight

[@Rich-MarsEco]

Now show me an interior design that could be bought and used by EMS services.

[@Rotuma1260]

Yes, that was mentioned at 2:16, but not elaborated on.

[@parkdavis2079]

that's intuitive; those of us in ems can picture cube space available.

[@joo7454]

Is there a video of this actually flying like joby or midnight?

[@parkdavis2079]

Archer still has only done UNmanned flights; joby has done over 100 manned flights.

[@GarryFishermusic]

Impressive the pusher idea should achieve a better forward speed in airplane mode so if I understand correctly 4- passengers means no pilot on board. ? Good looking design looks like comfortable size . Wishing them best of luck and success.

[@ingeranneamundsen7722]

Amazing!

[@BlueEyed888]

It’s very easy to build a nice looking shiny non-flying mock-up and to pay someone to create cgi video of it flying . It’s another thing to actually get the aircraft flying in real life. Talking about mass production without a working prototype is putting the cart before the horse. At this point it mostly just looks like an investment scam. JOBY is already flying an eVTOL with real live humans aboard and has clocked 33,000 miles of flight. JOBY will own the sector for a minimum of 2 to 3 years once they launch service in late 2025.

We intend to disrupt the disruptors. :-))

[@richystar2001]

20 minute flight then waiting 45 minutes to charge.... is gonna be one very expensive taxi.

[@dekkard]

Simply not true, Hyundai is leading in fast charging! And they own 80% of Boston Dynamics...

[@TheBagOfHolding]

None of the evtols can get 20 minutes the most is an empty archer midnight. It flew 10 minutes and it had no load.

[@TheBagOfHolding]

​@@dekkardfast charging reduces the battery longevity.

[@mikeparker6322]

Too many moving parts = increases the chances of failures. Two large rotors that can rotate might be a better option.

[@AnicaundFranzKornek]

Well, mega cool 😉🕊

[@DanFrederiksen]

not a terrible design but it's fairly complex and big and wont be a massive revolution over a traditional helicopter. A simpler single seater would. 2 rotor on tilt wings

[@dhsajdak]

We’ll see mr know it all

[@MelonHead887]

Make sure the CVR works ...

[@FLORIDIANMILLIONAIRE]

It's a beautiful EVTOL. There are challenges with these type of flip flop rotors also they have lower reliability due to the mechanism. IMHO it's better to keep some props fixed up and one fixed in thrust like conventional NASA model

[@dennty75]

Way behind Archer and Joby. They’ll launch commercially next year.

[@livingroomguitarist7]

Archer doesn’t have an aircraft that can be certified. More like 2028 for Archer

[@TheBagOfHolding]

​@livingroomguitarist7 none of them do. More like never for all of them

[@dennty75]

Do some homework guys. Archer and joby have already delivered pre-production aircraft’s to the US military for testing. Both are in final phases of certification. Aviation Is a race with other countries that the US does not want to lose. End of 2025 you’ll see them in the sky in major US cities. Autonomy won’t come till Later.

[@charlescole-p9v]

All these E-Vtols are taking WAY too long !

[@garymcfadden2797]

Yep, Joby is going on 15 years. Will it really ever happen?

[@peaceloveforever88]

GREAT

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

a tiltrotor design is best suited for an eVTOL aircraft . . . for e.g. the ship-borne MV-22E Sea Osprey multi mission tiltrotor . . . by principle it's two turbo-prop engines on either end of a pair of high set short lateral stub wings criss crossing the longitudinal fuselage at right angles . . . the turbo-prop engine swivels (tilt) longitudinally, full 180° deg for forward flight . . . in stationary hover mode the turbo-prop engines of the MV-22E swivel back into it's vertical (perpendicular) position during take off & landing . . . a tiltrotor eVTOL follows the same principle . . . incase of an eVTOL it's two prop driven electric motors on either end of two stub wings . . . 36.35 kN - 54.69 of pure e-power & an endurance of 200 miles (434 kms) . . . so many propeller driven motors makes you wonder that the Supernal has just enough grunt to fly . . . but not more, which is why the additional prop driven electric motors . . . the more than usual number of propeller provides more lift that compensates for the modest power output of the e-VTOL prop driven electric motors . . . which might not be enough for a full flight e.i. from take off to sustained flight to landing . . .

[@MrJesse1479]

☝️....what he said

[@terabit.]

Imagine the battery catching fire while being on air !

[@dhsajdak]

Not saying that couldn’t happen but I’m sure that is a possibility they recognize and are planning to mitigate through various technologies. Think of all the way that traditional aircraft can and do fail. They are still much safer than driving.

Marilie Station

[@phpn99]

Likely pricey for 4 passengers and a limited range / endurance. What's the point if it can't do better than a helicopter ?

[@dhsajdak]

The reason companies are developing these, for cities in particular, is low noise and zero in flight emissions. Check out Joby. They are very deep into development. Their craft is extremely quiet compared to helicopters.

[@lynwoodjones]

🤘

[@sladehelicoptersgaming3148]

Electric motors are awesome ! Batteries are not

[@dhsajdak]

They are getting better and better. As they do, these will improve. Solid state batteries are well into development. Also check out Joby, in addition to battery powered flight they are also developing hydrogen powered aircraft.

[@sladehelicoptersgaming3148]

@@dhsajdak so hydrogen is not a good fuel it currently needs 2 units of energy in to get 1 out , and as for batteries I hope you are right but I will wait till they work . Lots of private jet owners are now using SAF and E fuels which are carbon natural and I think much better options along with new engines and airframes

[@dhsajdak]

⁠​⁠@@sladehelicoptersgaming3148 There are a variety of factors that determine what makes a good fuel. Two major reasons for the push of electric based flight are noise and in flight emissions. With batteries there are no emissions and with hydrogen the only emissions are water vapor, which makes both fuels capable of operating in locations that are not viable for current helicopters. The noise is the other major factor and both the battery and hydrogen powered electric motors are going to be massively more quiet than any type of combustion motor. This makes them way more desirable for highly populated areas.

[@nicholascoles152]

Looks quite impressive but at the same time seems some way behind the likes of Archer,Joby and Beta Technologies.

[@rickvalmer9306]

You forgot Eve Air Mobility

[@markadler8968]

This is nothing more than a fancy model. Instead of showing animations of what this thing would look like flying why don't they show footage of it flying in real life?

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

It hasn't been built yet. This is just a mock up of what it will look like

[@markadler8968]

@@enadegheeghaghe6369 That is what I already said. My point was that if they don't have a working prototype than why bother with all of this?

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

@@markadler8968 you watched the video voluntarily. How exactly are they bothering you?

[@markadler8968]

@enadegheeghaghe6369 It is hardly bothering me and I stopped watching the video as soon as I realized this was nothing more than a model. So many of these companies are only capable of making a fancy model, some slick animations and aren't capable of building a working prototype. I was just pointing this out

[@dhsajdak]

@@markadler8968check out Joby, they are deep in development and in the midst of stage 4 testing with the FAA using multiple real aircraft.

[@DeadEyeDave]

Why bother with a pilot? Why not make it self-flying? Another seat for a passenger.

[@dhsajdak]

That is in development, particularly by Joby, however the regulations for pilotless flights are likely years away before it will be allowed in most locations. So the various EVTOL companies are starting with piloted flights to get their aircraft in the air faster.

[@marcv2648]

I don't see a future for these. The market for short hops is tiny.

[@dhsajdak]

Says you, there are lots of locations where it makes a lot of sense due to heavy traffic, geographical obstacles, etc.
