One morning I was staring at the wall by myself
On that wall
More than 100 stickies that wrote the idea of the future car are pasted
Among them I got one.
That sticky note was written like this
Flying car
So do not forget fall 2013
I decided to make a flying car
First of all, please watch this movie
[A World · Smo Rest Flying Car Sky Drive]
(Sound of waves)
(musics)
(Music end)
My primary job is to be an automotive engineer
It is an ordinary salaried worker.
However, outside of work
Together with 30 volunteer members and university teachers
We are developing a flying car
Aim for by 2050
To make an era when everyone can freely fly the sky
And firstly at the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games
I am aiming to light the fireball using a flying car
The movie above expresses that scene
Today I learned in developing a flying car
“Two ways to break through the limits” will be introduced
Why did you decide to make a flying car in the first place?
It dates back to my childhood
I adore a bright red car that I was born in Italy
“I want to try making vehicles that I am longing for in the future”
I thought it was my motivation
When I was an elementary and junior high school student, I got a phone call from a friend “
Awesome car is stopped! “When you hear the voice
Hold the camera and go straight ahead
I was taking Pasabasha from the front to the back and from the bottom
Also the number of plastic models we made exceeded 100 machines
Every mid-term or final exam
It increased to one and one
Everyone among the test period
I think that some people have cleaned the room
In my case the room was filled with car every time I tested it
And since I entered college, my thought came up
I made a racing car where people can actually ride
Of course I am not alone
Sharpen metal and weld it with colleagues
I made one car in a year and I was on the race
Such a car loving boy
7 years ago I got a start line as a car engineer
However, in the world it is said that “youth away from the car”
As a car lover I was feeling very lonely
My favorite thing disappears from the world –
Embracing such a sense of crisis
Four years ago the number of company sync names
We launched an organization to think about the concept of a new car
I decided to draw more than 100 ideas in half a year and narrow it down to one out of them
In the end, that choice was entrusted to me which is the topic
“What do you really want to do?”
I continued thinking the day after tomorrow
Then I was excited just as I felt when I was small
There was an idea that I felt most dreamed
That was “flying car”
While other ideas seemed to be possible
The flying car is because it seems unlikely
Is not it possible to create value in the next generation?
That’s what I thought.
I’d like to ask you a little bit here
Among them, how many people like cars?
Thank you
But it is still too small
(Lol)
So, listen to “Flying cars”
How long are you getting excited?
Thank you. Almost everyone.
Thank you
I was also excited at that time and thoughtfully chose this idea
Thinking back later
I noticed that this is the first way to break through the limit
In other words, I feel excited
It was to try to jump in honestly
Actually, until then I tend to think from the things we can do anything
I did not have a mind trying to challenge things that are exciting
But at this time I did not think about extra things and honestly obeyed my feelings
After that, when you confide feelings to your members
Everyone was as excited as I did and agreed
But even if the idea is decided, I do not know exactly how to do it
So I dropped a flying car that each envisioned
I put the images together
Like the beginning movie
In the sense that we want to be able to take off and landing vertically
Results of examining the principle
Multicopter
I went to something commonly known as drone
At that time in 2013 still in Japan
Because the drone was not common
I did not understand well what kind of principle it would fly
I bought a commercial item, but the contents are black boxes
So I decided to make it by themselves for the first time to understand the principle
This is the first prototype
Put four propellers on the mini 4WD motor
I did a trial that it would fly if we adjusted the four rotation numbers
It actually floated, but it has been leaned immediately
When I think about it now, a sensor that detects posture
It was obvious that we needed a computer to control it
At the time I did not even know that
So I asked someone who is familiar with control with a college or a friend of a social worker
Then
It will cooperate with “I do not quite understand but it looks interesting!”
Development of aircraft and control program has started
Over half a year I completed a real size 1/5 size prototype
I have it today.
Here it is
It can float vertically with 4 propellers and can run with 3 tires
I can not fly here because it is narrow
I would like to see a moving picture showing how to run and fly
You can run on the ground like a car and fly from there.
(Motor sound)
After that we went to the exhibition with the prototype we made
We sent information on the Internet
Then, engineers and business people with various skills
I became able to enter a group surprisingly “I want to help myself”
Looking back now
I noticed that this is another way to break through the limit
That is
“Continue recruiting fellows while doing”
In the beginning, there were days when there were few people and something that one person could advance
So soon I will not proceed like I will perceive difficulties
But for those who are interested or with skills
“I would like to do something like this, but would you please help me?”
As a result of calling out, my friends grew steadily and steadily
Now with a total of 30 core members
70 support members are included
Among them, university teachers who are studying drone attitude control
I was able to enter also those who are making large prototype machines
As a result, now
I have been experimenting with an actual size machine
Successfully surfaced for several seconds successfully
If you continue to communicate information while acting like this
Unexpected things also happen
From elementary school to university and corporate
“I want you to tell me the attitude to chase my dreams”
I got a request for a lecture.
Among junior and senior high school students learning programming
I looked at the simulator we were making and said
“We also want to make a game of flying cars!”
At first it was skeptical that “Can junior high and high school students make games?”
But six months after I started making it
It has reached a huge reputation by exhibiting at the exhibition with how a completed game is got
Today I would like to show you this game a bit
(musics)
It is a game that competes how fast you can goal through the rings in the air
Make a bonus that you get less time when taking coins in the middle
I made this BGM original too
(Music end)
Like this way
Act in accordance with honest feelings “I want to make games by myself”
We gathered our friends and made it step by step
Originally this activity began with the desire to deliver a dream to the next generation
It is told that junior high and high school students will realize in this way
I did not dream
Of course it is not just a sense of accomplishment
Airborne people say “It’s impossible on such principles”
From professional managers “There is no market?”
“Is it necessary to fly in the first place?”
Sometimes I feel honest
However, it has already been demonstrated technically
Overseas, ventures and major aircraft manufacturers
As a means to avoid traffic jams in big cities getting worse year by year
I am in a hurry to develop a flying car
Especially in America, infrastructure development and rule making
Furthermore, we are also considering the delivery service as a flying taxi
It is no longer a matter of time
I think we must do it as soon as possible
For ideas like exciting dreams
I tend to think “I can not do it myself”
But is it really so?
It may not be impossible unexpectedly if you jump in
Furthermore, trying to realize it by one person will suffice the limit of ability
But you do not have to do it alone
Just not doing information dissemination
There are many collaborators surprisingly around you
First of all, let’s honestly jump into the exciting feelings
And continue recruiting fellows
This is the two wings that break through my limit
If these two are aligned
It may be able to fly far beyond what I think
What is the flying car for you?
thank you for your attention
(applause)
