The SD-03 flying car prototype successfully performed the first-ever public manned test flight in August 2020 at SkyDrive’s testing site in Toyota City in central Japan. Characterized by contra-rotating propeller (CRP) technology, the aircraft features four counter-rotating propellor units — 2 propellors in each unit, 8 total — mounted at the four corners of the fuselage. The SD-03 fuselage is one of the world’s most compact and generates enough lift to carry a person with a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 400 kg (881 lb).

The SD-XX flying car is a concept model envisioned by SkyDrive to provide door-to-door air mobility. Our aim is to create a two-seat, ultra-compact flying car that allows take-offs and landings in small areas, including convenience store parking lots and building rooftops. Additionally, our development path envisions a flying car that also can be driven on land to enable true point-to-point mobility to any destination.
