Supernal

Korean Air and Supernal have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the design of an eVTOL vehicle and develop the AAM ecosystem in South Korea.

Supernal is working to develop electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles.

President Joe Biden on Sept. 7 nominated Michael Whitaker to lead the FAA, which has functioned for the past year and a half under acting administrators.

Tier 1 aerospace suppliers see the AAM industry as a way to bridge the business and technology gaps to the next single-aisle airliner.

Supernal announced agreements with GKN Aerospace, Qarbon Aerospace and UmbraGroup related to production of its S-A1 electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing craft.

Honeywell has emerged as one of the leading suppliers in the advanced air mobility industry.

Jay Merkle was hired to be Supernal's Senior Director for Regulatory Affairs.

While the list shares some of the top names in common with comparable rankings from SMG Consulting and Aviation Week, there are also some notable differences.

Certification, production and funding are key challenges for the eVTOL industry.

It’s often been observed by AAM industry watchers that eVTOL production will be like aerospace manufacturing at automotive scale.
