SkyDrive’s SD-03 eVTOL ‘flying car’ to be displayed at public exhibition for the first time in Japan

Japan­ese eVTOL air­craft devel­op­er Sky­Drive will dis­play its SD-03 eVTOL air­craft mod­el at a pub­lic exhi­bi­tion for the first time, giv­ing atten­dees a chance to sit in the cock­pit.

The Fly­ing Car Tech­nol­o­gy Exhi­bi­tion and Con­fer­ence is the only event in Japan to focus on the theme of the idea of ‘fly­ing cars’. It will take place at the Tokyo Inter­na­tion­al Con­ven­tion Cen­tre from Novem­ber 4th to 6th, with Sky­Drive’s CEO Tomo­hi­ro Fukuza­wa also giv­ing a keynote speech on the first day, enti­tled ‘The Dawn of the Fly­ing Car’.

Designed to be the world’s small­est eVTOL mod­el as a means of trans­porta­tion, the SD-03 mea­sures two metres high, four metres wide and four metres long — only requir­ing as much space on the ground as two parked cars.

The com­pa­ny con­duct­ed the first pub­lic flight demo of its new sin­gle-seater SD-03 fly­ing car in Japan in August, with a four-minute flight being car­ried out at the 2.5‑acre Toy­ota test Field. It is one of the country’s largest test fields and home to the company’s devel­op­ment base.
