About SkyDrive
SkyDrive develops the compact electric aircraft it identifies as SKYDRIVE, or SD-05, for short urban air-mobility trips. The aircraft is configured for take-off and landing from rooftops or small ports and combines flight-control capability, a simple structure and redundant systems for locations where conventional aircraft infrastructure is difficult to use.
SkyDrive presents use cases around urban transport, tourism, disaster response and medical access, alongside regional partners and candidate landing locations. SD-05 remains an aircraft under development, with passenger operations dependent on later certification, manufacturing and service milestones.
