Hyundai states that the car can travel at a speed of 120 miles per hour (190 kilometers per hour) while flying at an altitude of 1,500 feet (460 meters), with the same level of noise as a dishwasher.

The S-A2 is an advancement of Hyundai’s S-A1 idea, first presented at CES in 2020. Representatives from the company are currently focused on ensuring that the vehicle meets the necessary flight regulations of countries globally.
