AutoFlight has flown a prototype for its Properity eVTOL aircraft during an event held in Japan’s Okayama prefecture to promote the development of advanced air mobility (AAM) services. The flight on November 29 was conducted through a partnership with local not-for-profit group MASC, which is looking to include eVTOL vehicles in its plans for the Setouchi Community AAM Infrastructure 2028 Project.

According to MASC, the public demonstration is intended to be the first in a series of test flights in several Japanese cities. The Setouchi region spans Japan’s inland sea, connecting three of its main islands—Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu—and the organization is exploring ways to modernize transportation links.
