Model SD-03

Specifications

SkyDrive presented its SD-03 flying car model last summer, in what was the first public demonstration of a flying car in Japan. The demonstration took place at the Toyota Test Field, one of the largest in the country, measuring 2.5 acres (10,000 sq meters). The aircraft flew for approximately four minutes circling the field, controlled by both a pilot and a computer-assisted control system that ensured flight stability and safety. The SD-03 is described by SkyDrive as the world’s smallest electric VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) aircraft, measuring 4m in length, 4m in width, and 2 m in height (13.1 x 13.1 x 6.5 ft). When on the ground, it takes up the space of two parked cars.
