Incheon TP Supports Development of Leisure and Tourism PAV Demonstrators and Island Region Flight Demonstrations

Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) is actively supporting the development of demonstration Personal Air Vehicles (PAVs) in the leisure and tourism sectors, as well as flight demonstrations in island regions.

On July 31, Incheon TP announced that it will officially launch the "PAV Demonstration Development Support Project" and has signed agreements with two consortia selected as project implementers.

The Palnetworks Consortium plans to pursue the "K-Certification-Based Incheon PAV Demonstration and Localization of Core Components" project, aiming to localize key PAV components and establish a demonstration system. Through this initiative, the consortium intends to strengthen the technological validation infrastructure in Incheon and secure operational data for the commercialization of leisure-oriented aerial mobility.

Meanwhile, the AstroX Consortium is responsible for the "Island Hopping PAV Connecting Coast and Islands" project, which involves developing a tourism-focused PAV demonstration model using water takeoff and landing air mobility technology. The project will verify the feasibility of providing island hopping services in Incheon's island areas.

An official from Incheon TP stated, "A total of 18.6 billion won is being invested to establish a comprehensive test bed for next-generation PAV core components, and we are operating the only dedicated PAV airframe technology development equipment in the country. We will support the entire cycle from companies' technology development to testing, evaluation, and demonstration, and foster Incheon as the demonstration and commercialization hub for Korea's PAV industry."
