Experience the Future of Air Mobility with a Life-Size Model Replicating the Exterior Design and Dimensions of SkyDrive’s AAM eVTOL Aircraft
SkyDrive Inc. (“SkyDrive”), a leading eVTOL (*1) aircraft manufacturer based in Japan, began displaying a full-scale mockup of the eVTOL “SKYDRIVE (SkyDrive SD-05 Model)” as part of the Advanced Air Mobility Station, a pavilion showcasing AAM eVTOL technology at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai (“the Expo”). Inside the pavilion, which is located within the Expo’s Empowering Zone, visitors with a reservation have the opportunity to board the mockup. This is the first-ever exhibition to feature a full-scale model of the SKYDRIVE SD-05.

Experience the Future of Advanced Air Mobility Through a Boarding Experience
The Advanced Air Mobility Station, which includes the full-scale mockup display of the SKYDRIVE SD-05, gives visitors a glimpse of the role eVTOLs will play in our future society. The model has been built to actual size, measuring approximately 11.5 meters in length, 11.3 meters in width, and 3 meters in height (including rotors).
SKYDRIVE is an electric-powered, environmentally-friendly aircraft with room for three people—one pilot and two passengers. Lighter and quieter than a conventional helicopter, it is ideally suited to the urban environment, with the ability to take off and land from a wide variety of building rooftops and other limited spaces.
The cabin is designed with a focus on comfort, providing each passenger with ample personal space. In the rear seats, two passengers can enjoy their journey sitting side by side. The large windows offer a wide panoramic view, ensuring that time spent in the air with SkyDrive is an immersive and memorable experience passengers will want to repeat.
Comment from Takumi Yamamoto, Design Director
“Our eVTOL design embodies a vision for greater freedom of movement through easy, everyday access to the sky. eVTOLs will not only revolutionize transportation, they will also—by shortening travel within cities and redefining routes across landscapes—change the relationship between urban and natural environments, bringing people closer together. Through this design, we sought to achieve a strong balance between functionality and beauty, striving to create a form that will inspire the public to imagine the skies in years and decades to come. We hope this aircraft will create new possibilities and connections as we enter a new era of smooth and seamless everyday air travel”.

SkyDrive is an eVTOL company aiming “to take the lead in the once-in-a-century mobility revolution”. The company began testing eVTOL prototypes in 2014 prior to official incorporation in 2018. Under its future vision for urban transportation, flying in eVTOLs will become a regular part of city life. In 2019, SkyDrive became the first company to fly a crewed eVTOL in Japan. As of 2025, SkyDrive is working with civil aviation authorities in Japan and the US to acquire certification for “SKYDRIVE”, the company’s first commercial eVTOL product. SkyDrive began production of “SKYDRIVE” in March 2024 at a plant owned by Suzuki Motor Corporation, SkyDrive’s official production partner. SkyDrive is headquartered in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, and led by CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa, an engineer and entrepreneur.
