When I Think "Flying Car", This Is What Comes To Mind

"We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." -- Peter Thiel, PayPal Co-founder 

Flying car.

People have been thinking about how cool it would be to have a flying car, for a long time now.
Me too. But...

 ...just WHAT would a real, honest-to-goodness flying car look like? Nobody knows, because 
they aren't any being made. So there's no basis for comparison.

Here's my impression of what a flying car would look like:

The above is  version of the concept car made for the unreleased movie, "Fast Lane", now
made in Florida, by Kit Car Mike.


As you can see, it is NOT an automobile with wings, as some of the so-called flying cars are.
By using quantum engineering, we can directly control the force of gravity, to create propulsion,
and thus have a clean, "sexy" shape for our flying car.

So, what would riding in a flying car be like? The folks at Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters) 
have made this really cool-looking artwork of their proposed X-4 prototype:

A clean, unobstructed view as you zoom over the countryside. I love it! This is what you would see,
flying along in one of our vehicles.

When can I get one? Hey, I'm working on it. Thoughts, ideas? Let me know, OK?

The “real” flying cars

The “real” flying cars

“We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.” — Peter Thiel

This is the 21st Century. Where is my flying car?

No, seriously: where are the flying cars?

By “flying cars”, I don’t mean the ungainly cross-breeding of a flimsy automobile, and a clunky, low-performance aircraft, such as the Terrafugia, for example:



Or even the Moller Skycar:



No, I’m talking about the real deal: a personal mobility machine that can fly through the air, swiftly and safely, easy to pilot, inexpensive to own, and a total blast of an experience.

Think “George Jetson”:



or even “Back To The Future”:



“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need…roads!”

Exactly!

So, if blending an automobile and an airplane won’t do the job, what then?

To paraphrase Mark Zuckerberg, in “The Social Media”. if bringing cars and airplanes together could have given us flying cars, we would have flying cars.

 To get a George Jetson-like flying car, we will need a new way of thinking about this; the old mindset just won’t get us ther.

That new way of thinking is called:
Quantum Engineering
With quantum engineering, we will have flying cars. But this is a very big task, and I weill need all the help I vcan get.

If you want your own flying car, or if you are technically inclined, and would like to help make the flying car a reality, or even if you just think that a real, honest-to-goodness, George Jetson-like flying car is a really cool idea, then let’s make this happen.

Flying cars, oh yeah!
