\nGrowing Track Record Includes Flights at Osaka Expo, Tokyo Bay and Recent High Speed Flights<\/b><\/p>

TOYOTA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#FlyingCar<\/a>--SkyDrive Inc. (\u201cSkyDrive\u201d), a leading Compact eVTOL (*1) aircraft developer based in Japan, announces the completion of 300 flights of the SKYDRIVE (SkyDrive model SD-05), having reached this milestone over a period of 20 months from November 2024 and June 2026.<\/p><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>

\nThrough these demonstration flights, we have not only assessed the aircraft\u2019s performance, we have also amassed a large volume of flight data which will, once our aircraft is on the market, help support regular, on-time, commercial operations and decisions over when the aircraft can fly.<\/p>

\nWhile SkyDrive has test facilities both in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, and at the Yamaguchi Kirara Expo Memorial Park in Yamaguchi Prefecture, SkyDrive has flown its aircraft in a wide range of different environments to gain experience outside our facilities in airspaces where conditions are closer to the aircraft\u2019s future commercial operations, enabling us to improve the reliability and safety of our aircraft as we look to accelerate steadily forward toward commercialization in 2028.<\/p>

\nSkyDrive has published a video on its official YouTube channel of the path toward the successful completion of 300 test flights.<\/p>

\nThe Significance of Reaching 300 Flights<\/b><\/p>

\nSkyDrive is developing eVTOLs with the mission of \u201cleading a once-in-a-century mobility revolution\u201d. Our goal is to make simple and convenient air travel a regular part of city life. As we develop the SKYDRIVE, we have not only flown test flights within our own test facilities, we have also demonstrated the capabilities of the aircraft in public, including through flights from vertiports built by third parties, giving stakeholders and local people the opportunity to see the aircraft in operation.<\/p>

\nThe major demonstration flights performed by SkyDrive are as follows: (*2)<\/p>
