    From Traffic Jams to Sky Lanes?
    SkyDrive just pulled off something that feels straight out of science fiction — a successful public demo flight of their eVTOL (SkyDrive SD-05) at Expo 2025 in Osaka.

    👉 Flew 4 meters high
    👉 Lasted 3 minutes
    👉 Remote-controlled + stabilized with auto tech
    👉 Runs regular demo flights till August 24

    On the surface, it’s “just” a short test flight. But look closer — this is one of the stepping stones toward Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) becoming part of our daily lives.

    And here’s where I’d love to hear your take 👇

    🔹 Aviation folks — what do you think about safety and certification timelines for such eVTOLs?
    🔹 Tech leaders — is autonomous control mature enough to scale this vision?
    🔹 Urban mobility planners — how do you imagine integrating sky traffic with already crumbling city infrastructure?
    🔹 Sustainability voices — are eVTOLs truly a greener solution, or just a luxury distraction?

    We’re talking about the potential to redefine commuting — from spending 27 days a year stuck in traffic (Delhi’s reality) to maybe hopping into an electric sky taxi. But are we ready for the leap?

    💭 Would you trust an eVTOL commute in the next 5–10 years? Or do you think this will remain an expo-only spectacle for a while?
