It’s finally here – today we unveiled S-A2, our latest eVTOL vehicle product concept. Combining Supernal’s cutting-edge aerospace engineering with Hyundai Motor Group’s human-centered design expertise, S-A2 is a four-passenger, eight-rotor, battery electric vehicle. Its unique all-tilting rotor configuration reduces complexity and maximizes efficiency for all phases of flight. And we’re building it to meet the highest commercial aviation safety standards.

Supernal’s Chief Safety and Quality Officer, Dr. Tracy L. Lamb Ph.D, MBA, FRAeS., recently participated in the “Holistic & Integrated Risk Management” panel at International Civil Aviation Organization’s first AAM Symposium in Montreal. During the panel, Dr. Lamb emphasized the need to embrace an advanced evolution of safety management systems and leverage data from the broader AAM ecosystem to enhance safety protocols. We are excited to continue fostering industry collaboration and balancing innovation with robust risk management. #Supernal #AAM #RiseAbove

At Supernal, we’re committed to tackling every possible challenge UAM vehicles may face when navigating urbanscapes. Traditional radio-based precision landing systems are used in aviation to land at airports in weather and at night. However, these traditional ILS (Instrument Landing System) and MLS (Microwave Landing System) are too heavy for UAM vehicles and GPS navigation performance can be unreliable in dense urban environments, hence, we’re exploring new efficient methods for precision landing. We’re considering the possibility of placing custom design patterns (fiducial markers) on our vertiport and use cameras to localize the aircraft by detecting these patterns. This fiducial-based landing navigation and guidance is part of Supernal’s ongoing efforts to develop a fundamental understanding of fog and low visibility conditions for UAM vehicles. Our fog experiments have previously confirmed that fiducial-based precision landing can be used in CAT-I and CAT-II fog conditions for well-illuminated vertiports. For night-time or scenarios of extremely low visibility, this guidance will also incorporate infrared beacons to be detected using IR cameras. This relative localization system is expected to have low SWaP (Size Weight and Power), while providing the required navigation performance for UAM vehicles. These explorations are part of our continued efforts to set a new standard for safety and reliability in the skies.
