Hyogo Prefecture Launches New Flying Car Project

Akihabara News (Tokyo) — AirX, in partnership with Mizushima Aero & Space Industry Cluster Study Group (MASC) and CTI Engineering, has been selected by Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe city to receive a subsidy related to flying cars (eVTOLs).

This initiative, named the “Demonstration Project Utilizing Flying Cars in the Osaka Bay Area: Creating Aerial Tourism,” has the goal of positioning Hyogo and Kobe as trailblazers in “aerial tourism” through the utilization of eVTOLs. Its central focus lay in rigorous technical verification, encompassing critical aspects such as safety of operations, environmental impact assessments, and a thorough validation of tourism-related services.

The size of the public subsidy to be granted was not immediately revealed.

The region is moving quickly toward the social integration of eVTOLs, with the 2025 World Expo in Osaka serving as a prominent milestone.

AirX aims to play a pivotal role in this endeavor, specializing in the procurement and sales of next-generation aircraft, including eVTOLs. Their offerings extend to helicopter sightseeing and charter services, complemented by the development of sophisticated systems for reservation management and flight operations.

This collaboration aims to revolutionize transportation and tourism while addressing modern urban challenges, underscoring a commitment to pioneering innovations in air mobility.
