If you did not already noticed, except for a handful, almost all so-called urban air mobility is based on quadcopter or multicopter VTOL which are essentially person-size drones. But recently we stumbled upon a company that took an entirely differently direction; an urban air mobility that is based on today’s […]
Supernal LLC, Hyundai Motor Group’s high-flying division, just showed off their latest sky-skipping toy, the S-A2, at CES 2024. This electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle is like a magic carpet for the modern age, designed to zip people around cities faster than you can say “Up, up, and […]
Clearly, not wanting to be left out on the highway in the skies, Subaru has also unveiled its vision of a flying car. Dubbed the Subaru Sport Mobility Concept, Subaru’s vision of a flying Subaru is no different from other concepts; it is an eVTOL powered by horizontally mounted rotors […]
Soon, we will be seeing Suzuki scooting across the skies in Japan. Nope. There will not be flying Swift or Jimny or Vitara but thanks to a technology and production agreement with Japanese personal air transport maker, SkyDrive, Suzuki is indeed taking to the skies.

Chinese electric car maker Xiaopeng Motors, better known as Xpeng outside of China, shared its vision of flying cars through HT Aero last year. Fast forward to 2022, the company offers some updates on the development at Xiaopeng Tech Day.
