Airability, a company specializing in high-speed eVTOL development, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Korea Automotive Research Institute's AAM and Future Vehicle Safety Research Center on the 25th to collaborate on research and development in the drone and AAM fields. The signing ceremony took place at DSK 2026, Korea's largest drone and security exhibition.
Airability develops and mass-produces the tilt-duct propulsion AI eVTOL AB-U10 and AB-U60 airframes, and provides solutions for military, security, and public safety, such as DFR and counter-drones. The Korea Automotive Research Institute's AAM and Future Vehicle Safety Research Center possesses specialized research infrastructure for performance, safety, and reliability evaluations of AAM airframes and core components, and is strengthening its capabilities for evaluating hydrogen-electric AAM airframes and core components through the Seosan Test and Evaluation Facility in South Chungcheong Province, scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.
Under this agreement, the two organizations plan to cooperate in various areas, including joint use of research infrastructure for performance and reliability evaluation of AAM core components and airframes, support for the development of new drones and AAM products, technology exchange, and joint hosting of regular events.
“We will contribute to the development of the domestic AAM industry ecosystem by combining proven evaluation infrastructure and high-speed tilt-duct eVTOL technology,” said Jinmo Lee, CEO of Airability.
