Japanese developers tested a flying car (Video)
A Japanese flying car company has tested its new SD-03 model. The pilot was in the device during the flight.
The testing, which involved lifting the aircraft to a height of 2 m, was successful. The SD-03 was not only able to climb to the desired height, but also hung on it for almost a minute.
According to the director of the company, their development can enter the mass market as early as 2023. Until that time, the designers will deal with security issues. After all, this is a decisive factor during negotiations with the authorities on the introduction of devices into general use.
It is reported that at this stage, a flying car can fly for about 5-10 minutes. But the engineers say they can lengthen this time to half an hour. Also, the issue of reducing the cost of devices is being resolved. After all, if it costs about $ 10 million, no one will buy it.
It is planned that SD-03 will be supplied not only to China, but also to other countries. At this stage, it is funded by renowned Japanese developers.
