SkyDrive Inc., an eVTOL aircraft manufacturer based in Japan, has completed a demonstration flight of the SKYDRIVE (SkyDrive Model SD-05) at the Expo 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
SkyDrive will continue to showcase the capabilities of the SKYDRIVE with a series of further demonstration flights through to August 24th.
The flight reached a height of 4 meters and lasted for 3 minutes. The aircraft is uncrewed, operated by remote control, and stabilized using automatic control technology.
Back in February 2023, SkyDrive was included in a select group of the advanced air mobility companies chosen to demonstrate their smart mobility technology at the Expo under the event’s theme of showcasing the technology that will shape the future of society. As a result of this opportunity, the successful demonstration of the company’s aircraft at the Expo became one of SkyDrive’s key development milestones.
Following extensive development activity and an accident-free flight test campaign that confirmed the aircraft’s safety, SkyDrive is showing its aircraft to the public as per the demonstration flight schedule.
SkyDrive Demonstration Flight Schedule
SkyDrive will fly at the EXPO Vertiport every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday between Friday August 1st and Sunday August 24th. No flights will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
