The Seoul Mobility Show Organizing Committee (Chairman Nam-Hoon Kang and Chairman of the Korea Automobile Industry Association, hereinafter referred to as the Organizing Committee) announced on the 3th that it will operate a special air mobility pavilion at the ‘Seoul Mobility Show 31’, which opens on Friday, March 2023. revealed.
This special pavilion is promoted in collaboration with the organizing committee and the Aerospace Industry-Academia Convergence Institute (Director Yoo Chang-kyung) to revitalize the aviation mobility field, and includes ▲Aerospace Industry-Academia Convergence Institute ▲VSPACE ▲H3R ▲MBC ▲Fiber A total of five organizations and companies are planning to participate and showcase UAM, PAV (Personal Aircraft), batteries, and high-precision GPS terminals to visitors.
Among these, the Aerospace Industry-Academia Convergence Institute plans to introduce its own UAM demonstration platform construction project and promote the 11 K-UAM Confex exhibition to be held in Incheon in November.
VSPACE, a company specializing in manufacturing urban aviation transportation, is exhibiting ‘V-SPEETTER’, a vertical takeoff and landing PAV based on an innovative electronic propulsion system, at this mobility show. In addition, it has battery voltage stabilizer, AGM lead acid battery, and black box auxiliary battery functions. The combined ‘V-POWER LIFEPO4 BATTERY’ is unveiled.
H3R, a future mobility production startup, produces secondary batteries and personal mobility (PM) devices that can be used in future mobility, as well as AAM components such as electric propulsion systems and energy storage systems, and high-output and high-efficiency products in the e-mobility field. We plan to exhibit batteries. In particular, H2R’s AAM electric propulsion system is characterized by high power density and high stability.
Based on its know-how in broadcasting technology and IT services, MBC (Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation) will exhibit the GPS receiver ‘SMC-2000’ with ultra-precision positioning technology ‘RTK (Real Time Kinematic)’ that narrows the error level of GPS down to the centimeter level. This receiver, which has currently been applied to more than 150 drone aircraft, is evaluated as a highly competitive product in terms of ease of use, performance, and price compared to overseas products.
In addition, FiberPro, which specializes in optical measurement and optical sensor solutions, plans to exhibit ‘Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG)’ and ‘Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)’, which are essential components for autonomous driving systems and UAM. . Among these, inertial measurement devices are devices that measure the speed, direction, gravity, and acceleration of moving objects, and are widely used in flying objects including aircraft, ships, robots, and ICT fields.
An official from the organizing committee said, “We have prepared this joint pavilion to show future mobility that is evolving and developing in various forms such as electric vehicles, self-driving cars, and personal transportation, as well as UAM and PAV.” He added, “In particular, air mobility and related technologies. “It is significant in that the exhibition showcases a wide range of mobility that escapes the spatial constraints of land, sea, and air,” he said.
Meanwhile, the organizing committee changed the name of the event from Seoul Motor Show to Seoul Mobility Show starting in 2021, considering the expansion of new mobility fields such as future cars, robots, and MaaS. The 2023 Seoul Mobility Show will be held at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do for a total of 3 days, starting with the opening ceremony on Friday, March 31st and until Sunday, April 4th. The media release event (press day) will be held on Thursday, March 9th prior to the opening.
