Next-Generation Air Mobility
Exploring a safe, comfortable and connected eVTOL platform for urban travel, emergency response, island access and resilient regional mobility.
Discuss the Project
The Vision
A new layer of mobility
Sakurai Aviation and Kenki World are studying an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft concept designed to connect communities without depending on long runways. The concept combines a lightweight carbon-fibre structure, distributed ducted rotors, modern avionics and hybrid-electric power research.
- Urban and regional passenger mobility
- Rapid logistics and disaster-response support
- Island-to-island and remote-community connections
- Satellite-supported communications for resilient operations
