NREL, Supernal partner on eVTOL autonomous air vehicles; passenger flights could come next
February 2, 2022
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Supernal have partnered to explore airborne transportation and advanced air mobility. Supernal is developing electric, autonomous air vehicles capable of moving up to five passengers more quickly through dense cities, saving commuters time. They intend to launch commercial flights of the electronic vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (eVTOL) as early as 2028, integrating with existing transportation networks and expanding transit options.
