Akihabara News (Tokyo) — AirMobility has begun practical tests of its AirNavi eVTOL (flying car) navigation system in Toba city, Mie Prefecture.
In the current test, AirNavi was connected to a drone, which it successfully guided to a location 2.7 kilometers distant at an altitude of about 60 meters. The system relayed real-time weather information during the flight, and all takeoff, landing, and communication operations were performed as intended. In future tests, AirNavi will be tasked with making real-time route changes based on weather information, as well as for the purpose of collision avoidance within a traffic management system. Like many other eVTOL firms in Japan, AirMobility is aiming to have its product ready for public use by the time of the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. In November 2020, Mie Prefecture, AirMobility, and Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Company concluded an agreement to collaborate on the testing of the system within Mie Prefecture.
