Korean automotive group Hyundai laid off the majority of the staff at its California-based advanced air mobility subsidiary Supernal on February 27, 2026, according to a report by The Air Current, which referred to company sources. The cuts will reportedly affect 296 people, with only a small number of employees remaining in their posts for caretaking.

In September 2025, Supernal announced it was pausing the development of its future S-A2 eVTOL aircraft. This eVTOL concept was designed to carry…

It only takes one missing part to keep an aircraft glued to the tarmac, and as the old adage goes, “When a supplier has a…

What Is a Grommet? A grommet is a soft protective ring that protects cables from damage. They are designed for use in holes. After cutting a hole in a wall, panel or any other object, you can place a grommet in the hole. The grommet will cover the otherwise sharp edges…
