TOKYO: Japanese automaker Suzuki Motor said on Tuesday it had reached an agreement with SkyDrive to make"flying cars".
The companies will use a Suzuki Group factory in central Japan to make electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and aim to begin production by around spring next year, Suzuki said in a statement.

Headquartered in the city of Toyota in central Japan, SkyDrive has trading house Itochu, tech firm NEC and a unit of energy company Eneos Holdings among its main shareholders. The two companies signed a deal in March last year to team up in research, development and marketing of flying cars.
