Hyundai’s eVTOL startup Supernal pauses work following CEO and CTO departures

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-15 11:19:08

Hyundai’s electric air taxi startup Supernal has paused work on its aircraft program after a rocky few months that saw staff cuts and the departure of its CEO and CTO, two people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch. The shakeup comes at a time when Supernal has barely gotten off the ground — literally. The first test flight of its technology demonstrator happened earlier this year. And though Supernal has performed subsequent tests, the company was still working toward its first untethered

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of.
