Saean R&D (Saean Group Inc - SEAN) Secures 3 Core Patents for Next-Gen Air Jet-Propelled UAM. Positioning to Dominate the Global Urban Air Mobility Market
· Building a dense 'patent wall' spanning from basic structure to vortex induction and generation
· Overcoming the limitations of traditional propeller systems to secure high-speed flight and urban noise reduction technologies
· Creating an exclusive technological ecosystem targeting the $1.5 trillion (KRW 2,000 trillion) UAM market by 2040
As the global urban air mobility (UAM) market enters a phase of rapid growth, Saean R&D Co., Ltd. (Inventor: Jung-yong Lee)—a company specializing in eco-friendly future mobility—has secured a massive patent portfolio for core air jet-propulsion technologies that are set to disrupt the next-generation UAM market, strengthening its technological monopoly. According to global market research firm Morgan Stanley, the global UAM market is projected to reach approximately $1.5 trillion (around KRW 2,000 trillion) by 2040.
According to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), Saean R&D recently secured three consecutive related patents centered around air jet-propulsion vehicles and aerodynamic control technologies.
The secured patents include:
1. AirJet Propulsion Apparatus for Urban Air Mobility and Air Jet Vehicle
2. Air Jet Propulsion Apparatus Having Vortex Guiding Vane and Air Jet Vehicle
3. Vortex Generation Type Jet Propulsion Apparatus and Air Jet Vehicle
Based on a single, massive jet-propulsion framework, these patents establish an advanced technological ecosystem that organically resolves the core challenges of UAM commercialization, such as structural stability, propulsion efficiency, and noise reduction.
Overcoming Open-Propeller Limitations: The 'Basic Air Jet Propulsion Platform' for High-Speed Flight
The first patent, which covers the foundational structural technology, focuses on overcoming the technical limitations of the multicopter (open-propeller) systems that currently dominate the UAM market. By introducing an internal, embedded Jet Propulsion system optimized for urban environments, it maximizes high-speed cruising efficiency. Additionally, it defines a primary noise-shielding layout through an external housing. This move is interpreted as strategic preparation for future expansion into Regional Air Mobility (RAM) for high-speed travel between cities.
Preventing Flow Separation and Reducing Noise: Maximizing Efficiency Through 'Vortex Control'
The second and third patents feature core technologies that aerodynamically resolve energy efficiency and noise issues, which have traditionally been the Achilles' heel of jet propulsion.
The Vortex Guiding Vane patent intentionally aligns and guides the airflow during the intake and exhaust processes to prevent flow separation inside the engine. This drastically boosts propulsion efficiency, minimizing battery and fuel consumption.
Meanwhile, the Vortex Generation Type patent intentionally creates micro-vortices around the aircraft. This helps maintain control and prevents stalling (Stall) during high-angle flights or sudden turns. In particular, it organically disperses the exhaust flow from the jet nozzle, which is expected to significantly reduce 'jet noise'—the most critical weakness of urban aircraft.
Securing Technological Monopoly via a Dense 'Patent Wall' to Accelerate Market Expansion
Mobility industry experts evaluated this patent acquisition, stating, "Filing core UAM patents simultaneously ahead of the opening of a massive $1.5 trillion market is a classic global-enterprise monopoly strategy designed to build a powerful Patent Wall that prevents competitors from bypassing or misappropriating the technology."
Leveraging the establishment of this core Air jet UAM patent portfolio, Saean R&D is expected to present its own independent aviation mobility technology standards. Moving forward, the company is set to accelerate business commercialization and technological cooperation with major domestic and international investment firms, as well as global aviation partners.
