Young automotive engineers working in the Mikawa district of Aichi Prefecture are developing a flying car.
Set to be completed in 2020, the flying vehicle is expected to be used in such cases as natural disasters. The Kumamoto earthquakes last month made the group even more determined to finish their work.
"We hope to complete it and get it ready for use as soon as possible," said group leader Tsubasa Nakamura, 31, of Nisshin, Aichi Prefecture.
