Japan's Nikkei electronics maker unveiled a prototype of an aircraft flying in the air for about a minute during its testing in Japan.

The car is in the size of the Rikshu, equipped with four horizontal fans and shaved the original model, which resembles a plane running up to three meters high during a test in Chiba, east of Tokyo on Monday (August 5).

Company officials said the aim of the craft was to conduct unmanned flights to deliver parcels.

The Japanese government aims to start using commercial aircraft in about 2023 and will initially transport goods and then expand to transport individuals by 2030.
