Boundary Administrative Scrivener Launches Flight Permit Service for Flying Cars

Boundary Administrative Scrivener Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of a new service designed to assist with the application for flight permits for "flying cars," aimed at backing their social implementation.

What Are Flying Cars?

Flying cars, primarily consisting of electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOL), represent a revolutionary, on-demand transportation method that is accessible to everyone. This innovative means of transportation aims to utilize key characteristics such as electric power, automatic control, and vertical take-off and landing to enable aerial travel across various scenarios.

Applications for this technology include ride-hailing services in urban areas, transportation to remote islands and mountainous regions, and emergency medical transport during disasters. Consequently, efforts are underway to enhance safety measures for aircraft and traffic management.

Permit Requirements for Test Flights

To conduct test flights for flying cars, operators must obtain seven specific permits based on aviation regulations, which ensure safety and compliance in aerial operations. These include:
1. Certification of aircraft safety.
2. Pilot competencies for the equipment used.
3. Information regarding operators for remote or autonomous control.
4. Non-equipment of safety devices like radio telephony.
5. Permitting take-offs and landings in non-airport areas.
6. Flying below minimum safety height.
7. Notification of payload drops.

Note: Different regulations may necessitate additional permits.

Previous Test Flight Examples

Boundary Administrative Scrivener has successfully secured flight permits for various test flight demonstrations. These included operations with wind speeds under 10 m/s, visual weather conditions, unmanned aircraft soaring to a maximum altitude of 30 m, and operations without tethering. Leveraging data from previous approvals, they will continue to offer robust support tailored to business needs, encompassing legal advice and application assistance for permit acquisition.

Pricing and Service Details

Boundary Administrative Scrivener Corporation's flight permit application service for flying cars extends beyond merely facilitating applications. They provide a wide array of support, from aircraft identification numbers and comprehensive legal investigations of flight locations to operational guidance before and after flights. This ensures safe and compliant operations.
