Japanese carmaker Suzuki Motor Corporation is getting behind SkyDrive's efforts to develop a two-seat personal eVTOL vehicle. Suzuki is now supporting the Toyko-based start-up on multiple aspects of research and development work, preparations for manufacturing, and business planning.

Since October 2021, SkyDrive has been engaged in the type certification process with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism (MLIT). The timeline for bringing the flying car to market has slipped from late 2023 to 2025 after the company acknowledged that more time is needed for the approval process.
