Creating a flying car has been a dream of scientists for a long time. Research work is also going on in many countries. So far, only flying cars were seen in fantasy films, but a Japan company has made this dream come true. Not only this, while performing a successful test, a person took a walk while driving it himself.
This flying car from Japan is now in the news. The company named Skydrive has built this car and has also claimed successful testing. This test was done on the 25th of last month. According to the company, this test was done at the Toyota Test Field, one of the most developed bases in Japan. It is said to be the first public demonstration of a flying car in the history of Japan.
The name of this flying car is SD-03. There was a pilot who traveled for four minutes on the field. Company CEO Tomohiro Fukazawa said in a statement, "We are very excited about the achievement of flying the Japanese first man-to-fly car. We have captured this car within two years of the establishment of Skydrive. Its aim is the commercialization of aircraft."
The company says that this aircraft, shaped by two standing cars, is the world's smallest upward-moving electrical vehicle. In this, eight motors have been installed for protection to deal with emergency situations. The company says that this vehicle will be available for sale in Japan in the year 2023. Currently, its price has not been announced, but according to reports, its price is more than 3 lakh dollars.
This is not the first time that such a flying car would have been tested. Last year, a German company tested a flying taxi in Singapore. It was said that this taxi, shaped like a large drone, will revolutionize areas with dense traffic.
