The Flying Car Aiming for 2025 Lift-Off: SkyDrive eVTOL

Startup SkyDrive just partnered with Suzuki to help get its next-generation personal flying vehicle off the ground in time for the 2025 Osaka World Expo.

Do you think SkyDrive will hit its goal of certification by 2025?

I'm just imagine the first one model already flying casually everyday. it will be cool and terrifying at the same time. those exposed blade, make my head shivering. the next model with protected blade is perfect.

Can't wait to see the dashcam crash videos with these!

[liamjohnson]

3:43 Yeah, a million dollar air taxi that can only go 7 miles, sounds like REAL lucrative business endeavor for a fleet vehicle...

[BrunoDeMarques]

The design is off the charts! Best looking sky-car I’ve ever seen

Battery energy density needs to be dramatically improved.

[Hadeks_Marow]

Can we PLEASE stop calling drones "cars" >_>

From a google result:
_"A flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function as both a personal car and an aircraft."_

This thing isn't even roadable, this is LITERALLY just a drone or quad-copter.

Hit 120k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in January 2022…..

The Evtol market will shift to "likely" when the issue of battery life and noise are solved to a degree where it has similar comparabilities to owning an actual car.. Until then flying "cars" are a dream and at most a hobby for flight enthusiasts. I'm not arguing.

An EVTOL that flies with actual people in it. Thumbs up.

Japan is like the only serious student for the studies in section D

[rizaadon]

This isn't a car. It's essentially a small helicopter and it more than likely creates a lot of noise and runs out of battery fast/can't travel far. It's cool as a hobbyist vehicle to fly on private land but completely impractical otherwise.

[acejames-tuif]

IF your talking maybe turn down the background music

[volcanik]

A small drone flying overhead makes enough noise, can only imagine how loud this thing will be

[andylee]

Hmm, not really a flying car. Just a big drone

[torresalxndr]

we need better technology before these "flying cars" become practical and safe. Making what are basically large drones is not going to cut it.

I can't wait until the flying cars come out in 2025 I'm really looking forward to it seeing them add all the car dealerships in West Virginia and Kentucky and Ohio

[WilliamEnwerem-pl]

I can't wait for the new way of transportation in the sky

[joelface]

The funniest thing to me is the concept art that shows these things stuck in traffic... in the air.

[WilliamEnwerem-wr]

I can't wait until the flying cars come out in 2025
