Now is the era of paradigm shift.
The revolution of electronics, communication, and the Internet triggered by the advancement of information and communication technology spreads to electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and the field of artificial intelligence changing the world dramatically.
And one more future means of transportation that emerged amid the wave of change is urban aviation mobility.
Currently, more than 250 large companies, research institutes, and ventures around the world, centering on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Companies are racing for research and development of related technologies.
Companies are racing for research and development of related technologies. Such aircrafts are also subjected to the newly established airworthiness certification regulations. After final development is completed, it is expected to settle down through the stage of obtaining public acceptance.

However, the technology that drives vertical take-off and landing aircraft with electric or hybrid propulsion is still not a simple area, but fortunately in Korea, large companies such as Hyundai Motor and Hanwha System jumped into this field by planning an early investment.
Nevertheless, it is already well known that the domestic acquisition of various infrastructure technologies that make it possible is poor, so we would like to acquire and upgrade related elemental technologies through the center's R&D activities.

Please stay tuned for our research and development
progress on UAM, which is the latest trend in aerospace and will
emerge as one of the growth engines for the Korean economy in the future.
