\n Paging Marty McFly!<\/p>\n

One of the world\u2019s first successful test flights of a flying car with a passenger aboard was launched by a Japanese firm, according to a report Friday.<\/p>\n

The sleek futuristic ride \u2014which looks like a cross between a one-man helicopter and a Smart car \u2014 hovered several feet off the ground in a video released by its Tokyo-based creators, SkyDrive Inc.<\/p>\n

A rep from the firm said the \u201cJetsons\u201d-like car may soon take transportation to new heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf the world\u2019s more than 100 flying car projects, only a handful has succeeded with a person on board,\u201d Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who heads the SkyDrive project, told the Associated Press. \u201cI hope many people will want to ride it and feel safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The machine so far can fly for just five to 10 minutes but if that can become 30 minutes, it will have more potential, Fukuzawa said.<\/p>\n

He hopes the high-flying gadget will hit the market by 2023 \u2014 but said safety improvements are needed first.<\/p>\n

In addition, battery sizes, air traffic control and other infrastructure pose challenges to creators of \u201ceVTOL\u201d \u2014 or \u201celectric vertical takeoff and landing\u201d \u2014 vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany things have to happ<\/a>en,\u201d said Sanjiv Singh, professor at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. \u201cIf they cost $10 million, no one is going to buy them. If they fly for 5 minutes, no one is going to buy them. If they fall out of the sky every so often, no one is going to buy them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SkyDrive project, which started in 2012, has scored funding by top Japanese companies including automaker Toyota and Panasonic. The test flight took place at a field owned by Toyota in central Japan earlier this month.<\/p>\n

A demonstration flight by SkyDrive three years ago went poorly but the vehicle\u2019s latest launch improved after the firm received $37 million in funding.<\/p>\n
