现代汽车在2024年拉斯维加斯国际消费电子展(CES)上展示了其最新eVTOL(电动垂直起降)概念飞行器S-A2。这款飞行器由现代汽车旗下专注于城市空中交通的子公司Supernal负责，预计将在2028年投入市场。
S-A2并不是现代汽车的首次尝试，其灵感源于2020年CES上亮相的S-A1概念机。该项目由现代汽车旗下专注于城市空中交通的子公司Supernal负责，Supernal首席执行官Jaiwon Shin在CES上表示：“S-A2的发布展示了我们以安全、高效的交通工具实现城市空中交通愿景的坚定承诺。凭借Supernal超过600名才华横溢的员工、现代汽车集团庞大的技术和业务能力以及全球航空供应商的信任，我们将引领航空新时代。”
S-A2将配备可容纳4名乘客的座舱，并由一名飞行员驾驶。现代汽车雄心勃勃，希望这款飞行器能在2028年正式投入市场，S-A2的目标是为城市地区提供安全、经济高效、快速的交通解决方案。
现代汽车在CES上还分享了S-A2的一些关键数据。这款V型尾翼eVTOL飞行器设计航程为25到40英里（IT之家注：40到64公里），最高时速可达120英里（193公里），巡航高度仅为1500英尺（457米），还将采用新型电动推进技术。S-A2在噪音污染方面也表现出色，垂直起降时的噪音仅为65分贝，水平巡航时则降至45分贝。考虑到噪音污染一直是航空业的一大难题，“安静得像洗碗机”的S-A2无疑令人鼓舞。

Keywords: Hyundai Motors, S-A2 Concept Aircraft, Urban Air Traffic
News Content: Hyundai Motors showcased its latest eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) concept aircraft, the S-A2, at the 2024 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The aircraft is being developed by Hyundai’s subsidiary Supernal, which focuses on urban air mobility, and is expected to enter the market in 2028.
The S-A2 is not Hyundai’s first attempt; it draws inspiration from the S-A1 concept unveiled at the 2020 CES. The project is led by Supernal, with CEO Jaiwon Shin stating at the CES that “the unveiling of the S-A2 demonstrates our firm commitment to realizing our vision for urban air mobility with safe and efficient transportation vehicles. With over 600 talented employees at Supernal, the extensive technology and business capabilities of the Hyundai Motor Group, and the trust of global aerospace suppliers, we will lead a new era in aviation.”
The S-A2 will feature a cabin capable of accommodating four passengers and will be piloted by one person. Hyundai is ambitious and hopes that this aircraft will officially enter the market in 2028. The S-A2 aims to provide a safe, cost-effective, and fast transportation solution for urban areas.
Hyundai also shared some key data about the S-A2 at the CES. This V-tail eVTOL aircraft is designed to have a range of 25 to 40 miles (40 to 64 km), a top speed of up to 120 miles per hour (193 km/h), and a cruising altitude of only 1500 feet (457 m). It will also employ new electric propulsion technology. The S-A2 also performs well in terms of noise pollution, with a noise level of only 65 decibels during vertical takeoff and landing and dropping to 45 decibels during horizontal cruise. Considering noise pollution has long been a major challenge in the aviation industry, the “quiet as a dishwasher” S-A2 is undoubtedly encouraging.
