It’s been a busy week for Japanese eVTOL developer SkyDrive, who has announced its second pre-order agreement in two days, its latest coming from CT UAV in Vietnam. That puts pre-orders for the company’s new SKYDRIVE eVTOL up to 200 in Vietnam alone.
We will spare you the brief history of SkyDrive Inc. as we just offered a recap yesterday when the company announced a pre-order for up to five of its newly designed SKYDRIVE eVTOLs (seen above) by Austin Aviation in South Carolina.
That initial letter of intent kicks off SkyDrive’s journey toward setting up shop in The Palmetto State as it collaborates with local airports and other aviation companies to develop and implement an entire infrastructure plan for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including eVTOL charters.
Closer to its original headquarters in Toyota City, Japan, SkyDrive has already secured a pre-order for 100 eVTOLs in Vietnam following a memorandum of understanding signed by Pacific Group Co. Ltd. in November 2022.
Today, SkyDrive has announced a second pre-order from a separate aviation company in Vietnam, potentially doubling the amount of aircraft sold in the country.

The special effects folks had a blast making everybody dizzy...
