In a Linkedin post SkyDrive has announced it has made the first successful first demonstration flight in Tokyo pf its SKYDRIVE Model SD-05 eVTOL.
The company plans to organise a series of demonstration flights over the five days between February 24 (Tue) and February 28 (Sat), 2026. “This initiative is being organized in collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd., and Kanematsu Corporation,” said the company in a press release. “The flights will take place at a temporary take-off and landing site located in the outdoor parking lot of Tokyo Big Sight’s East Wing. This event will mark SkyDrive’s first-ever demo flight in the city of Tokyo.
“We are also inviting applications from members of the public to help us monitor our passenger experience. While the actual flights will not carry passengers, the chosen applicants will test the boarding process at a dedicated terminal facility equipped with facial recognition technology, helping us to craft a smooth and efficient flow for future eVTOL passengers. The demo flight and the passenger terminal facility will be open to the public for viewing. This initiative is part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s “Project for Developing Business Models for eVTOL (Flying Car) Services in Tokyo.”
