Paving the way towards a revolution in air mobility

Between July 31 and August 24, flights from the Expo Vertiport drew large crowds of spectators from across Japan and overseas, significantly raising SkyDrive’s international profile as a key player in the eVTOL industry operating out of Japan. The second series of flights at the Osakako Vertiport (see above) brought the SKYDRIVE into an urban setting for the first time, allowing local residents to see the aircraft up close in a neighborhood scheduled to host future eVTOL routes.
