Hyundai unveiled its first concept Personal Air Vehicle today, named ‘S-A1’.The concept PAV is equipped with eVTOL and designed to seat five people, including a pilot.

The PAV will be operated initially by a pilot during the early stages of commercialization and enable autonomous operation once the relevant technologies are developed.Hyundai has the manufacturing capacity and expertise required to develop and mass-produce transportation vehicles such as the PAV.The ‘S-A1’ concept PAV was developed jointly with Uber, the world’s largest mobility company.
