A prototype of the flying car – measuring a fifth of the final size and fitted with adapted drone technology– was recently tested near Toyota city, hovering almost 10 feet off the ground, according to media reports.
"We hope to complete it and get it ready for use as soon as possible," Mr Nakamura told the Japan Times.
Mr Nakamura, who studied mechanical engineering before developing racing cars, launched the flying car project in 2014 by creating a small prototype using a toy motor.
After raising more than (2.6 million yen £16,000 (£16,000) via crowdfunding, he was able to build the first full-scale prototype last year.
