Current assessment

SD-05 remains in active JCAB type certification. JCAB issued the G-1 certification basis in February 2025, and SkyDrive reported agreement with JCAB on the General Certification Plan on 9 March 2026. Subsequent 100 km/h high-speed testing and a 300-flight cumulative milestone are development evidence, not a Type Certificate or operating approval.

Redundancy

Triplex primary flight-control system plus a separate independent backup; 12 independently controlled motors and four battery systems, per manufacturer.

Conceptual placement

Battery, control and cabin overlays communicate system context only; exact internal placement is not asserted.

Public detail unavailable

Exact inverter installation, pack geometry, structural internals and certification-level electrical partitioning are omitted.
