SkyDrive, a leading eVTOL aircraft manufacturer based in Japan, together with East Japan Railway Company (JR East), held a joint exhibition to promote “railway × eVTOL” combination travel.
The event, held between August 29 and August 31, showcased how future passengers will be able to seamlessly combine flights in SkyDrive’s advanced electric aircraft with overland journeys on conventional rail services.
SkyDrive and JR East began discussions on the potential of combined rail/eVTOL routes earlier this year. Through this event, both companies aimed to share with the public their excitement over these new travel possibilities.
SkyDrive and JR East have also declared an agreement for a pre-order of one SKYDRIVE aircraft from SkyDrive, a decision that further accelerates the growing collaboration between the two companies.
