skydrive sd-03

SkyDrive Inc., a Japanese company that develops and manufactures flying cars and cargo drones, has announced that it has conducted its first public manned flight demonstration of its new SD-03 flying car model. The single-seat SD-03 took off and circled the field for about 4 minutes.

SkyDrive said that the pilot was at the controls but a computer-assisted control system helped ensure flight stability and safety while technical staff at the field monitored flight conditions and aircraft performance at all times as backup. The SD-03 is considered as the world's smallest electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) model as a new means of transportation for the near future.
