IntroductionIntroduction
Have you ever daydreamed about your car taking off and flying over the road?
Imagine if you could just flip a switch and unshackle yourself from the asphalt.
Creating a new type of transportation that doesn't rely on roads.
At the beginning of a new century, we may see the realization of a century-old dream
The technology to make flying cars safe and easy to fly may finally be here
We will take a look back and examine some of the flying vehicles that you may soon be able to park in your garage in the next decade!
HistoryHistory In 1903, pioneering men began chasing the dream of a flying car.
There was even one attempt in the 18th century to develop a gliding horse cart, which, to no great surprise, failed.
HERE‘S A LOOK BACK AT A FEW OF THE FLYING CARS THAT DISINGUISHED THEMSELVES FROM THE PACK:

Airphibian - Robert Fulton, who was a distant relative of the steam engine inventor, developed the Airphibian in 1946.
Instead of adapting a car for flying, Fulton adapted a plane for the road.

HistoryHistory The wings and tail
section of the plane could be removed to accommodate road travel.
It took only five minutes to convert the plane into a car.
The Airphibian was the first flying car to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
HistoryHistory ConvAirCar - In the 1940s,
Vultee developed a two-door car equipped with a
detachable airplane unit.
The ConvAirCar debuted in 1947,
And offered one hour of flight and a gas mileage of
45 miles
It crashed on its third flight!
HistoryHistory
Avrocar - The first flying car designed for military use was the Avrocar
Developed in a joint effort between Canadian and British military
The flying-saucer-like vehicle was supposed to be a lightweight air carrier that would move troops to the
battlefield
These pioneers never managed to develop a viable flying car,
Some even DIED! testing their inventions too

Flying cars may fill the skies in the next few
decades.
There are still some obstacles to overcome. But soon the cars are close to being
finished.

And Future of Flying CarsAnd Future of Flying Cars
In the future all this technology will develop so much that buses or even trains will fly.
Instead of garages there will be launch pads by our homes
There would be no need for roads so the wildlife can reclaim the land back. Turning old narrow alleys into large open fields or forests.
