eVTOL Technology Overview in Tokyo
Tokyo is advancing eVTOL technology through SkyDrive's SD-05 aircraft, which completed demonstration flights at Tokyo Big Sight in February 2026 as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's eVTOL Implementation Project Phase I. Joby Aviation has also partnered with Toyota Motor Corporation and ANA Holdings for Japanese market entry. Japan's JCAB is developing type certification standards, and Toyota's $400M+ investment in Joby provides manufacturing expertise for scaled production. Tokyo's dense 14M population and congested transit system make it a high-potential market for eVTOL services connecting Narita and Haneda airports to the city center.
