To realize our vision, a compact flying car is necessary with a vertical takeoff and landing type, which does not need roads and runways to take off. It’s very difficult to realize the compact flying car due to noise control, all weather treatment, and security of absolute safety. However, if this flying car is realized, enjoying scenery from the sky freely, the transfer to the place that we were not able to go so far and smooth movement avoiding a traffic jam is not a dream anymore. To realize such a world, as the first goal in 2020, we advocate that the flying car will light Tokyo Olympic flame stand.
