The effort to develop electric flying vehicles as actual transport systems has progressed beyond its initial design phase. SkyDrive Inc. has chosen Florida as the primary state for its expansion into the southeastern United States.
The company has signed a Letter of Intent with Aeroauto Global, Inc., a Florida based Advanced Air Mobility integration and infrastructure provider. The agreement establishes fundamental terms for the upcoming acquisition of eight SKYDRIVE SD-05 eVTOL aircraft. The document provides details about the costs and the anticipated schedule for deliveries. The project plans to deliver four aircraft in 2028 while six additional aircraft will be delivered in 2029 if all activities follow the scheduled plan.
In the interim, SkyDrive has further developed its existing relationship with SAI Flight. Until now, that collaboration focused mainly on operations in South Carolina. The partnership will now extend into Florida, where SAI already operates one of its largest bases. Bringing Florida into the picture allows the companies to start building a broader regional network before the aircraft even begin service.

The logic behind this is simple. Aircraft alone do not create a new mobility system. You need operators, infrastructure partners, and a market that can actually support the service. SkyDrive is trying to put those pieces together early.
Florida is seen as a strong opportunity for advanced air mobility. The state has a large tourism economy, busy regional travel corridors, and growing interest in new transport technologies. By combining SkyDrive’s aircraft development with SAI’s operational experience and Aeroauto’s regional sales and infrastructure network, the companies are working toward building the conditions needed for commercial eVTOL deployment.
If the timeline holds, the partnerships being built now are meant to support the planned entry into service around 2028.
