日本飞行汽车载人试飞成功 或于2023年面世
Sky Drive Inc. conducted the public show on August 25, the company said in a piece of news, at the Toyota Test Field, one of the largest in Japan and home to the car company's development base. It was the first public show for a flying car in Japanese history.
The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot, took off and circled the field for about four minutes. "We are very excited to have achieved Japan's first-ever manned flight of a flying car in the two years since we founded Sky Drive with the goal of commercializing such aircraft," CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa said. "We want to realize a society where flying cars are an accessible and easy way of transportation in the skies and people are able to experience a safe, secure and comfortable new way of life." The SD-03 is the world's smallest electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle and takes up the space of about two parked cars, according to the company. It has eight motors to make sure "safety in emergency situations".
"In designing an unexplored, new type of transportation known as the flying car, we chose the keyword ‘progressive’ for inspiration,” Design Director Takumi Yamamot said. The company hopes to make the flying car a part of normal life and not just goods. More test flights will occur in the future under different conditions to make sure the safety and technology of the vehicle meet industry standards.
The success of this flight means that it is likely the car will be tested outside of the Toyota Test field by the end of the year. The company will continue to develop technologies to safely and securely launch the flying car in 2023, the news release said. No price has been announced.
