SkyDrive, a Japanese startup that is deploying a range of innovative technologies toward realizing the dream of a flying car, has unveiled an updated electric VTOL vehicle that is designed to combine the utility of VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) with the eco-friendly features of electric motoring.
Dubbed the 'SD-03,' this particular electric VTOL vehicle measures in at four meters in length, four meters in width and two meters tall, and has a sporty appearance. In terms of its movement, this aircraft has four pairs of rotors, each of which is connected to a designated motor to allow for safety in redundancy.
This electric VTOL vehicle has already undergone testing in public settings, and is believed to be a promising solution for the flying taxi services of the not-too-distant future.
