The decision was made strategically in response to changing market conditions, including delays in the commercialization of the global UAM market.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"3\">Hanwha Aerospace said on the 3rd that it had mutually agreed to terminate the 454.8 billion won parts development and supply contract it signed with VA. The deal had covered the tilting and blade pitch system and electric actuators for VA&#8217;s eVTOL aircraft, the VX4, and was signed in October 2023.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"4\">The tilting and blade pitch system is a core component that transfers motor power to the propeller and adjusts flight direction and thrust. An electric actuator is a device that controls UAM operations using the rotational force of a motor powered by electricity.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"5\">At the time, Vertical Aerospace was developing the VX4 with a goal of commercialization in 2025, and Hanwha Aerospace had planned to supply parts to VA through 2036. However, the prolonged delay in commercialization appears to have led to the contract&#8217;s termination.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"6\">The partnership between the two companies is not over, however. At the same time as the contract ended, Hanwha Aerospace signed a new memorandum of understanding to maintain future cooperation. Through this, the company plans to continue building a foundation for collaboration in similar development projects and mass-production supply businesses.<\/p>\n<p refid=\"7\">A Hanwha Aerospace official said, &#8220;We are adjusting our investment priorities after comprehensively considering market conditions and business viability,&#8221; adding, &#8220;We will continue to review business opportunities related to our core technological capabilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.5rem;\">\nThis article has been translated by GripLabs Mingo AI.\n<\/p>\n<p>#<\/p>\n<p>Hanwha Aerospace<\/p>\n<p> Space<\/p>\n<p> supply deal<\/p>\n<p> eVTOL<\/p>\n<p> blade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 Hanwha Aerospace has ended a parts supply deal worth more than 450 billion won with Vertical&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":107724,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[55488,16968,355,277,354,18242,55487],"class_list":["post-107723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hanwha-aerospace","tag-blade","tag-evtol","tag-hanwha","tag-hanwha-aerospace","tag-hanwha-group","tag-space","tag-supply-deal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
