To Our Valued Members of the Press,
SkyDrive Inc., a leading compact eVTOL aircraft developer based in Japan , is pleased to announce that it has completed a total of 300 flights without incident with its multi-rotor eVTOL aircraft currently under development, the "SKYDRIVE" (SkyDrive model SD-05). This milestone was achieved over a period of 20 months starting from November 2024.
Through these demonstration flights, which include operations at the Osaka Expo and in Tokyo , we have not only assessed the aircraft$B!G(Bs performance but also amassed a large volume of flight and operational data. This data will support regular, on-time commercial operations and crucial decisions once our aircraft is on the market.
The aircraft and operational data accumulated through these 300 completed flights provides a solid foundation to support the regulatory testing required for type certification and further aircraft development. This milestone steadily advances our development as we look to accelerate toward commercialization in 2028.
