Flying Car Successfully Carries out Test Flight with a Person in Japan: Successful testing of flying vehicles with passengers, likely to come to market in 2023. 'Flying Car' is no longer confined to the pages of fantasy or science fiction novels. Numerous prototypes of this flying car have been made in the twentieth century. Attempts have also been made to fly them in the sky through various flight technologies. Tests have matched, sometimes success and sometimes failure. However, with the rapid advancement of technology, it seems that this flying car is not far from the grasp of human civilization.
The Dutch company PAL-V aims to launch a roadable aircraft called PAL-V Liberty (a type of flying car, a hybrid vehicle that has the ability to fly in the sky, as an alternative it can be re-driven like a car on the road) by next year. Has kept and it is also continuing the production work in full swing. Also, a few companies called Volocopter, EHang, Airbus, Flying Car or eVTOL (a type of aircraft that can fly, take off and land vertically through electric power) have been able to successfully test flight.
This time, SkyDrive of Japan was the first company in the country to successfully operate a test flight of a flying car with a man. The Skydrive project was started in 2012 as a volunteer project with funding from Japanese automaker Toyota, electronics company Panasonic and video game developer Bandai Namco. Although the company's experimental efforts three years ago did not see the face of success. Since then, work on the project has been in full swing and it has recently received funding from the Development Bank of Japan at 3.9 billion Japanese rupees, or about 261 crore rupees in Indian currency.
A video was shown to reporters on behalf of the agency on Friday. In the video, this eVTOL (Electric vertical takeoff and landing) class flying car called SD-03 with eight propellers looks like a flying car flying a few feet (1-2) above the ground every four minutes in the Toyota test field with a pilot. Since then, Japan's Skydrive has been recognized as one of the world's countless flying car projects. Because they were the first to be able to run a successful and moderate test flight with one man.
Tomohiro Fukuazawa, who led the project, told the Associated Press: "Of the more than 100 flying car projects in the world, only a few have successfully tested the flying car with passengers."
"The eVTOL, the smallest yet in the world, has a maximum flight capacity of five to ten minutes," said Fukuazawa. However, if the deadline is 30 minutes, then there is a possibility of exporting to places like China.
The company said it would ensure more testing, technology development, and safety regulations by 2023 to make it a reality.
While flying cars may seem like a new mode of transportation, it is safe to say that it is a matter of time. Design, safety, environment, control, high production cost, flight clearance are the main obstacles to its commercialization. It remains to be seen when the flying car will be able to overcome these obstacles and when we will be able to visualize them face to face outside the world of the Internet.

ReplyDeleteThe decades-old dream of zipping around in the sky as simply as driving on highways may be becoming less illusory. Japan's SkyDrive Inc., among the myriads of “flying car” projects around the world, has carried out a successful though modest test flight with one person aboard.
