intends South Korean Hyundai The launch of an electric-powered flying vehicle that carries a number of unprecedented advantages in the automotive world, while the company says that this vehicle will become accessible to consumers and put up for sale in the market within only a few years.

According to a detailed report on the new flying vehicle published by the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, and reviewed by “Al Arabiya Net”, it is a modern electric car that can fly in the sky when needed and walk on the ground, and carry five passengers, and it is currently being developed in the company’s factories, and it is expected that Reach the market by 2028.

The report reviewed the specifications of the flying electric car, and said that it is “inspired by butterflies” and contains five vegan leather seats, built-in charging stations and overhead light therapy.

South Korea’s Hyundai, which has created a new subsidiary called Supernal to design the butterfly-inspired plane, might make it available to the public as early as 2028.

The Korean company revealed its initial vehicle cabin concept (eVTOL) at the Farnborough International Airshow.

Hyundai and Sobernal said the eVTOL and S-A1 flying taxi are under construction and are a “personal air vehicle” that can carry up to four passengers on cross-city trips.

The all-electric aircraft will initially be piloted, but might fly autonomously in the future, at which point passenger capacity might be increased to six.

It is expected to be able to fly 60 miles (96 kilometers) at speeds of up to 180 miles per hour (280 km/h), while being able to climb up to regarding 2,000 feet.

The team that develops the car, made up of engineers and designers, says it is made of reinforced thermoplastics, durable vegetable leather, recycled plastic fabric and “responsibly sourced wood”.

The car’s cabin features ergonomically defined seats, to provide a cocoon-like environment for passengers, and seat control units that mimic those that appear in cars, and this cabin also provides a charging station and a storage compartment for personal items.

Grab handles integrated into the cabin doors and seat backs help passengers get in and out of the flying car, while an array of lighting, including headlights inspired by the sunroof, adapts to the various stages of the flight to simulate the effect of ‘light therapy’.

“The vehicle being developed relies on the competence of the Hyundai Motor Group and the skills of experienced car designers, which has allowed us to develop a new concept of air mobility that is not only safe and rational, but also highly emotional,” said Luc Donckerwolke, president of the developer.
