Flying car successfully tested in Japan | #Research | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

(CNN)A Japanese company has announced the successful test drive of a flying car.

Sky Drive Inc. conducted the public demonstration on August 25, the company said in a news release, at the Toyota Test Field, one of the largest in Japan and home to the car company's development base. It was the first public demonstration for a flying car in Japanese history.
The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot, took off and circled the field for about four minutes.
"We are extremely excited to have achieved Japan's first-ever manned flight of a flying car in the two years since we founded SkyDrive... with the goal of commercializing such aircraft," CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa said in a statement.

What's more fancy than a Porsche? A flying Porsche. Luxury automakers race to perfect the flying car
"We want to realize a society where flying cars are an accessible and convenient means of transportation in the skies and people are able to experience a safe, secure, and comfortable new way of life.

Verkehr: Porsche entwickelt Lufttaxi | #Research #STEM #AutonomousFlyingObject

Das Lufttaxi fliegt von selbst


Lufttaxis sind kleine Fluggeräte, die einen oder zwei Passagiere über eine kürzere Strecke in der Stadt oder von der Stadt zum Flughafen befördern sollen. Sie sollen autonom fliegen, das bedeutet, der Fluggast braucht keine Fluglizenz.

Die Idee ist, auf diese Weise die Staus auf den Straßen zu umgehen. "Das macht schon Sinn. Wenn ich von Zuffenhausen zum Stuttgarter Flughafen fahre, brauche ich mindestens eine halbe Stunde, wenn ich Glück habe. Mit dem Flieger wären es dreieinhalb Minuten", sagte Platen.

Porsche tritt mit seinem Lufttaxi gegen eine Reihe von Konkurrenten an, die bereits solche Fluggeräte gebaut haben, darunter die deutschen Unternehmen Volocopter und Lilium, der europäische Luftfahrtkonzern Airbus und das chinesische Unternehmen Ehang.

Joe Boutte's curator insight, March 14, 2018 12:20 PM
Air taxis are small aircraft designed to carry one or two passengers over a shorter distance in the city or from the city to the airport. They should fly autonomously, which means that the passenger does not need a flight license.Video: Airbus Vahana (Concept Video) (2:02)The idea is to bypass the congestion on the roads in this way. If I'm driving from Zuffenhausen to Stuttgart Airport, I'll need at least half an hour, if I'm lucky. "The plane would take three and a half minutes," Platen said.Porsche is taking its air taxi against a number of competitors who have already built such aircraft, including the German companies Volocopter and Lilium, the European aviation group Airbus and the Chinese company Ehang.
