JAL Flying Car Survey in Osaka
Friday October 22, 2021. 06:11 AM , from Akihabara News
Akihabara News (Tokyo) — Japan Airlines (JAL), quickly following up on its announcement this week that it is forming an eVTOL (flying car) partnership with Avolon and Vertical Aerospace, has revealed that it will be conducting an eVTOL survey in Osaka together with its longer-established partner, Volocopter.
The “Demonstration Test toward the Realization of eVTOL” is part of JAL’s preparations for the 2025 World Expo, where the company is planning to conduct “scenic flights to view the area around Yumeshima” for various passengers. Next month, JAL will conduct test helicopter flights over Yumeshima, the planned site of the Expo, to “investigate the constraints on the flight environment and ground facilities.” This will be followed up next February by collaborating with Volocopter to conduct Osaka resident surveys. These will involve giving some residents an opportunity to experience eVTOL “virtual flights” in an effort to determine the prospects for social acceptance. Both JAL and Volocopter are participants in the local government’s Osaka Roundtable on a Moving Revolution Society in the Sky.
