Hyundai Motor Co. has formed an Urban Air Mobility division that will be headed Jaiwon Shin, a long-time engineer for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The group aims to develop technologies for flying autonomous taxis and related applications. No timetable was given for testing or commercializing such technologies.
Shin joined NASA in 1978, most recently serving as associate administrator for the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. During his 31 years at the agency, Shin led research programs related to electrified aircraft, supersonic planes, traffic management and urban air mobility. He also chaired several inter-agency initiatives.
Shin has bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering. He also is a graduate of the senior executive fellowship program at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
