Japanese company SkyDrive has completed a successful manned test flight of its flying car prototype. "Of the world's more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board," said Tomohiro Fukuzawa, head of SkyDrive. The vehicle uses electric vertical takeoff and landing for efficient point-to-point travel, and could one day offer a viable option to busy airport terminals and roadway congestion. Fukuzawa hopes to have a commercial product ready to launch by 2023.
