This year, Hyundai showcased several innovations at the CES technology fair in Las Vegas, USA. What caught the most attention was the S-A2, a “flying car.”

Supernal, the brand’s aerospace division, plans to manufacture it by 2028. With eight folding rotors, the S-A2 achieves a cruising speed of 193 km/h and can fly at an altitude of 457 meters.

According to Hyundai, the production version of the eVTOL will focus on shorter distances, with trips ranging from 40 to 64 kilometers. Thus, the S-A2 should be more suitable for navigating city distances. To avoid disturbing urban residents, the flying car is expected to emit 65 decibels during takeoff and 45 decibels while in flight.

The eVTOL cabin can accommodate up to four people, not including the pilot. Furthermore, the seats are made with aviation-grade materials for energy absorption as a safety measure.

According to information from Hyundai, although there is a common term, the S-A2 cannot be viewed as a popular or traditional flying car – this is because it was primarily designed for air transport. The company, by the way, set up a location to showcase passenger boarding and alighting at the Las Vegas Convention Center parking lot, where CES takes place.

Company Still Works on Final Touches

At the moment, Supernal is still developing some final touches on the S-A2 to ensure everything meets certification. The brand also states that the car is being envisioned according to all flight specifications around the globe and aims to incorporate certain innovations, such as removable battery packs and modular interiors.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Egypt built an entire capital from scratch in the middle of the desert, with the tallest tower in Africa and the largest cathedral in the Middle East, to relieve Cairo of the burden of more than twenty million people.

The end of Japan? Population is disappearing, country loses more than 3 million inhabitants in just five years and birth rate falls for the tenth consecutive year, raising alarm about demographic collapse and lack of workers.

China surprises the world by inaugurating a new era: the country will create a “digital ID” for 28,000 humanoid robots from 100 manufacturers, while machines capable of cooking, doing laundry, and caring for the elderly begin free domestic testing in 2027.

The world’s smartest ring is now 40% smaller, measures blood pressure signals during sleep, monitors over 50 health metrics, has a battery life of up to 9 days, and features enhanced sensors for more accurate readings on any skin tone.

Forget the Toyota Hilux: with a 2.0 turbo engine and 475 hp, the new BYD Shark Performance tows 3,500 kg, accelerates in 5.5 seconds, and addresses historical criticism, but loses load capacity and surprises even medium pickup truck owners.
