The first public demonstration for a flying car in Japan was conducted by Sky Drive Inc.  on August 25, the company said in a news release, at the Toyota Test Field, the location to the car company's development base.

The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot, took off and circled the field for about four minutes.

    "We are extremely excited to have achieved Japan's first-ever manned flight of a flying car in the two years since we founded SkyDrive... with the goal of commercializing such aircraft," CEO Tomohiro Fukuzawa said in a statement.

    "We want to realize a society where flying cars are an accessible and convenient means of transportation in the skies and people are able to experience a safe, secure, and comfortable new way of life."

    The SD-03 is the world's smallest electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle and takes up the space of about two parked cars, according to the company. It has eight motors to ensure "safety in emergency situations."
    "In designing an unexplored, new genre of transportation known as the flying car, we chose the keyword "progressive" for inspiration," Design Director Takumi Yamamot said.
    "We wanted this vehicle to be futuristic, charismatic and desirable for all future customers, while fully incorporating the high technology of SkyDrive.
    The company will continue to develop technologies to safely and securely launch the flying car in 2023, the news release said.
