随着各国政府希望利用新兴技术，飞行汽车产业的出现已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。最近，日本政府宣布了一项坚定的承诺，即开发飞行器并将飞机与公共交通相结合。

该国贸易和运输部计划呼吁行业领导者精简研发工作。该集团将由来自以下领域的21个组织和公司组成：汽车，飞机制造和商业航空。

“日本政府将提供适当的支持，帮助实现飞行汽车的概念，例如制定可接受的规则，”东京贸易部表示。

飞行汽车联盟

日本政府已经列出了将参与当地飞行汽车联盟的企业，包括优步，波音，空客，全日空控股和Cartivator（由丰田支持的创业公司）。代表们已经就该集团的计划进行了讨论，这也导致了路线图的制定。

为了支持即将开展的项目，监督该联盟的部门将为该集团分配资金。日本时报经济产业省批准拨款4040万美元用于开发飞行汽车零部件，如电池，电机和其他设备（根据日本时报报道）。

此外，为了为飞行汽车开发商创造一个繁荣的生态系统，日本政府打算为参与该联盟的公司启动一个支持性的监管环境。官员们还将推动基础设施项目，以确保开发人员不会缺乏创新和测试原型的能力。

东京日本航空管理研究所的研究人员Yasuo Hashimoto说：“政府有必要率先制定安全标准并进行协调。”

“他们正试图为其他国家的行业定下基调。”

日本的飞行汽车应用

日本以在汽车，半导体和消费电子等众多领域的技术先进而闻名。因此，政府将飞行汽车视为解决城市地区交通繁忙的问题也就不足为奇了。根据日本经济部长Hiroshige Seko的说法，紧凑型飞机可以提供低成本的方式运送到偏远的山区。

Seko还认为，飞行汽车可以为居住在偏远岛屿的当地人提供紧急疏散服务。这样的应用对日本很有用，因为该国是许多活火山的所在地（全世界约有10％的活火山位于该国）并且在过去的几十年中遭受了少数致命的地震和海啸的袭击。

对于旅游部门，日本计划将飞行汽车与即将举行的活动结合起来。Cartivator是该国新成立的飞行汽车联盟的着名成员，正在开发一种能够点亮2020年奥运圣火（将在东京举行）的飞机（Skydrive）。

“到2050年，我们的目标是创造一个任何人都可以随时随地在空中飞翔的世界，”Cartivator说。

“为了实现我们的愿景，紧凑型飞行汽车是必要的，采用垂直起降技术，不需要道路和跑道升空。”

飞行汽车也正快速发展，小伙伴们期待那天的到来吗？

Boeing, excellent step and Airbus join Japan's flying car alliance

The emergence of the flying car industry has changed dramatically as governments seek to take advantage of emerging technologies. Recently, the Japanese government announced a firm commitment to develop aircraft and combine aircraft with public transport.

The Ministry of trade and transport plans to call for industry leaders to streamline research and development. The group will comprise 21 organizations and companies from the following areas: automotive, aircraft manufacturing and commercial aviation.

"The Japanese government will provide appropriate support to help realize the concept of flying cars, such as enacting acceptable rules," the Tokyo Trade Ministry said.

Flying automobile Alliance

The Japanese government has listed companies that will participate in the local AVU, including Youbo, Boeing, Airbus, Nikko Holdings and Artivator (a Toyota-backed start-up). Delegates have discussed the group's plans, which has led to the formulation of the road map.

To support the upcoming projects, the Department of supervision will allocate funds to the group. Japan's Times Ministry of Economy and Industry has approved $40.4 million for the development of flying car parts, such as batteries, motors and other equipment (according to the Japan Times).

In addition, in order to create a prosperous ecosystem for flying car developers, the Japanese government intends to launch a supportive regulatory environment for companies involved in the alliance. Officials will also promote infrastructure projects to ensure that developers do not lack the ability to innovate and test prototypes.

Yasuo Hashimoto, a researcher at the Japan Aeronautical Management Institute in Tokyo, said: "The government needs to take the lead in setting safety standards and coordinating them."

"They are trying to set the tone for other sectors of the industry."

Application of Japanese flying cars

Japan is famous for its advanced technology in many fields such as automobile, semiconductor and consumer electronics. Therefore, it is not surprising that the government regards flying cars as a solution to the problem of heavy traffic in urban areas. According to Hiroshige Seko, Japan's economy minister, compact aircraft can provide a low-cost way to transport to remote mountains.

Seko also believes that flying cars can provide emergency evacuation services for locals living in remote islands. Such applications are useful for Japan, which is home to many active volcanoes (about 10% of the world's active volcanoes are in the country) and has suffered from a few deadly earthquakes and tsunamis in the past few decades.

For the tourism sector, Japan plans to combine flying cars with upcoming events. Cartivator, a prominent member of the country's newly formed flying coalition of automobiles, is developing a Skydrive that will light the Olympic flame in Tokyo in 2020.

"By 2050, our goal is to create a world in which anyone can fly anywhere and anytime," Cartivator said.

"In order to realize our vision, compact flying vehicles are necessary, using vertical take-off and landing technology, without the need for road and runway lift-off."

Flying cars are also developing rapidly. Do their partners expect the day to come?
