Hyundai’s air mobility firm will have a big presence at CES as they're effectively building a mini airport
CES is right around the corner and Hyundai will use the event to highlight plans for hydrogen, artificial intelligence, and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Starting with the latter, Hyundai’s Supernal will build a vertiport outside the Las Vegas Convention Center so visitors can see the “future of transportation.” As part of this effort, the building will house an eVTOL concept that has a V-shaped tail as well as multiple rotors that can apparently rotate 90 degrees.
The vertiport itself is interesting as it’s a mini airport designed for eVTOL aircraft. They’re envisioned to connect to other forms of mobility and can be located in cities, rural areas, and even on top of parking garages or skyscrapers.

Supernal’s exhibit will highlight potential flight networks as well as take visitors on a simulated flight through Los Angeles. These efforts will support the company’s goal of creating a “new, efficient transportation option” that will be “widely accessible in the coming decades.”
On the automotive side, Hyundai will show “how its hydrogen-powered and software-driven transformation will bring universal benefits to humanity.” The company was coy on specifics, but announced plans to introduce a “modular hydrogen toolbox” that promises to “establish a clean hydrogen value chain.”
The automaker will also highlight their future software strategy, which aims to provide a “fully optimized, user-centric ecosystem connecting devices, services and solutions.” We can also expect mobility concepts as well as AI news.
