Airbus, the European Space Agency, the founder of Google Larry Page, Tesla, Uber and Toyota decided to support the Cartivator project participants who are planning to create a prototype of the flying vehicle on the SkyDrive electric traction that is to be used in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. The electric plane will have to deliver the torch to a sufficient height for spectacular lighting of the Olympic flame.
The team Cartivator includes several young Toyota engineers, and this allows the project to receive funding from the Japanese auto giant. In the next three years, all investors will invest $ 385,000 in the development of the electric plane. The authors of the project promise that by the end of 2018 the prototype will be able to fly with a man on board. While the early prototype is able to break away from the ground for several seconds. In the future, Cartivator expects to create the world's
most compact passenger electric vehicle, on which it will be convenient to move in conditions of dense megacity development. It is planned to bring this vehicle to the market by 2025. Participation in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will be a good advertisement. Related Products :
