SkyDrive conducts public flight of SKYDRIVE SD-05
SkyDrive successfully conducted a demo flight of SKYDRIVE SD-05 model at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. In February 2023, SkyDrive was selected as one of the eVTOL operators taking part in the "Smart Mobility EXPO," a part of the "Future Society Showcase Project" at the Expo.
Since then, as we dedicated ourselves to the development of our aircraft, we have targeted flights at the Expo as one of our most important development milestones.
Ahead of the scheduled point-to-point and circular flights planned at the Expo for the summer of 2025, the SKYDRIVE SD-05 took off for a demo flight above the EXPO Vertiport. The aircraft flew at an altitude of 5 meters for a total flight time of approximately 4 minutes. To ensure safe flight operations, the aircraft, which incorporates automatic control systems, was piloted remotely without a pilot on board.
