Flying cars in the sky
The dream of flying in the sky for decades is going to come true like driving on the road. Skydrive Inc. of Japan has been working for a long time to make Flying car cars.
Skydrive experimentally flew their flying vehicle into the sky on Friday. A pilot has been able to successfully drive the vehicle at Flying car. A report in the Wall Street Journal said.
As seen in a video from SkyDrive, go to Urukku to look like a light motorcycle.
Tamohiro Fukuzawa, head of SkyDrive's Flying car Jaan project, said he hopes Flying car cars will be a part of real life by 2023. However, he acknowledged that the issue of making Flying car a safe vehicle was complicated.
More than 100 flying cars are being built around the world. However, in only a few projects has it been possible to fly a car with a human driver.
"Hopefully, a lot of people will want to ride it and feel safe," Fukuazawa said. So far our vehicle has been flying for 5 to 10 minutes. However, it will soon be able to fly up to 30 minutes. There are many more possibilities in this flying vehicle. It can be exported to places like China. '
The movement of such vehicles is not like that of airplanes or helicopters. Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (EVTOL) vehicles can quickly move up and down for personal travel to specific locations. This type of vehicle can be easily avoided at the airport and traffic jams. The pilot or pilot does not have to be hired separately. Its owner or driver can control it automatically.
Fixing the battery size, traffic control and other infrastructure could be a potential hurdle in bringing such a flying car to market.
"A lot can happen in this car," said Sanjeev Singh, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Institute of Robotics. If it costs millions of dollars, no one will buy it. If only 5 minutes could fly, no one would be interested. If it falls from the sky again and again, no one will come near it. '
The SkyDrive project started in 2012. Japan's Toyota Motor Corporation, Panasonic Corporation and game maker Bendai Namco have invested in it.
Three years ago, this car did not show very good skills during the experimental flight. From then on, the organization started working on its development. The initiative has recently received special funding from the Development Bank of Japan.
In addition to Skydrive in Japan, Lilium in Germany, Joby and Whiskey in the United States are working on such projects. These include Boeing Company and Kitty Hawk Corporation.
Sebastian Tarun, chief executive of Kitty Hawk, said the acceptance of airplanes, cellphones and automobiles has taken time. However, in the case of flying cars, it will take much less time.
