Advanced Air Mobility Through a Boarding Experience<\/strong><br \/>The Advanced Air Mobility Station, which includes the full-scale mockup display of the SKYDRIVE SD-05, gives visitors a glimpse of the role eVTOLs will play in our future society. The model has been built to actual size, measuring approximately 11.5 meters in length, 11.3 meters in width, and 3 meters in height (including rotors).<\/p><p>SKYDRIVE is an electric-powered, environmentally-friendly aircraft with room for three people\u2014one pilot and two passengers. Lighter and quieter than a conventional helicopter, it is ideally suited to the urban environment, with the ability to take off and land from a wide variety of building rooftops and other limited spaces.<\/p><p>The cabin is designed with a focus on comfort, providing each passenger with ample personal space. In the rear seats, two passengers can enjoy their journey sitting side by side. The large windows offer a wide panoramic view, ensuring that time spent in the air with SkyDrive is an immersive and memorable experience passengers will want to repeat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fb49994 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fb49994\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d2457e3\" data-id=\"d2457e3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-93eaa8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"93eaa8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Comment from Takumi Yamamoto, Design Director<\/strong> <br \/>\u201cOur eVTOL design embodies a vision for greater freedom of movement through easy, everyday access to the sky. eVTOLs will not only revolutionize transportation, they will also\u2014by shortening travel within cities and redefining routes across landscapes\u2014change the relationship between urban and natural environments, bringing people closer together. Through this design, we sought to achieve a strong balance between functionality and beauty, striving to create a form that will inspire the public to imagine the skies in years and decades to come.

Inc.<\/strong><br \/>SkyDrive is an eVTOL company aiming \u201cto take the lead in the once-in-a-century mobility revolution\u201d. The company began testing eVTOL prototypes in 2014 prior to official incorporation in 2018. Under its future vision for urban transportation, flying in eVTOLs will become a regular part of city life. In 2019, SkyDrive became the first company to fly a crewed eVTOL in Japan. As of 2025, SkyDrive is working with civil aviation authorities in Japan and the US to acquire certification for \u201cSKYDRIVE\u201d, the company\u2019s first commercial eVTOL product. SkyDrive began production of \u201cSKYDRIVE\u201d in March 2024 at a plant owned by Suzuki Motor Corporation, SkyDrive&#8217;s official production partner. SkyDrive is headquartered in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, and led by CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa, an engineer and entrepreneur.<\/p><p>For more information, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/skydrive.co.jp\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c2da4d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c2da4d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2316d44\" data-id=\"2316d44\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a861ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a861ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Editor\u2019s Note:<br \/>(*1) \u201ceVTOL\u201d is an abbreviation for electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing.
