Flying car | |||||||||||||||||
I live in a country where traffic zam is a part of everyday life, and sometimes we have to wait for more than three hours a day only in traffic zam. Road networks are very less, and to improve this, will cost around several billions of dollars, not less than twenty years of time, and most importantly, a political stability to do this, none of which, at this moment is possible. Even if u got an ambulence with a patient with serious case you must wait and let the patient die, as you will get no alternative. Renting a helicoptre is very veryy veryyy expensive and cost you a fortune of your entire year's income. I saw kids are playing with flying toys and saw farmers are using small aeroplane (less than a metre in size) for spreading fertilizer in their crop field. Is it possible to develop a small flying car which you can use only at the traffic zam points in your everyday life, and at other places it will simply be a car, at an affordable price?

Considering the level of maintenance needed to keep a plane in the air and considering the level of mainenance performed on a whole lot of cars I see each day i am thankful there is not a flying car available to the general public. There are, of course, helicopters. . .
Helicopters have the natural-selection filter of being difficult to pilot.
Sounds nice but in reality if there were cheap flying cars a minor fender bender would send cars crashing to the ground--just look at airlines with pilots with years of training being routed by pro controlers and they still still have mid air crashes and a lot of near misses--
It is possible in principle and was being discussed when I was a child. However, considering the degree of irresponsibility we see in earth bound driving, I doubt that the average person could be relied on to make it work.
It would add a third "degree of freedom" to the possible causes of crashes, etc.
