20 Most Unusual Flying Vehicles That Will Change The World

[@EllaVloggs]

Super cool

[@kevinjasper6620]

I think the third one is the only practical and best one for the general public

[@lupo19fun]

Very nice vid

[@timmason7430]

Don't hold your breath. We have been waiting more than 60 years for this concept.

[@trumanthomas4253]

Maybe if it didn't take years to get a usable credit score things would develop faster

[@bertdellaluna5612]

I saw the Bell jet pack fly over the Unisphere at the 1964 Worlds Fair. They told us we'd all have one by 1976. I'm still waiting for mine.

[@mr.imperial8721]

Modern day Oban star racers....lol....awesome.

[@paulbrunton877]

As long as you have a pilots license and pass the exams you can have one, it would be fabulous to fly.

[@allstate125]

Turning loose today’s car drivers into the air? Ha ha ok 😆

[@tacyhale845]

Great now we have to watch out for drunk drivers on the ground roads but them flying drunk, not to mention Sunday drivers, and the idiot drivers

[@DavidFMayerPhD]

Forget airships. They are highly inefficient. Also, history shows that when a new technology to do the same thing comes online, only one version succeeds, and the rest die out. Also, the time required to implement this technology is always underestimated. I saw videos JUST LIKE THIS 30 years ago. Don't hold your breath.

[@tiny180]

You said what I was trying to think of saying lol you my friend are so right it's not funny to bad no one will read this or lission to you

[@jeremytheexplorer4689]

In the future, people will see this kind of video the same way we seeing that helicopters evolution video. Can't wait

[@zakosist]

I'm glad to hear we're finally getting flying cars

[@Vvykk]

LOL, they're not cars. Just flying machines.

[@hotwheelsbrothers687]

The Ethal Airship is actually like an house ship😂

[@mohammadayub2760]

Now this is what I think the new generation is so different from us who was born in 1965 because thay have no patience whatever so God help us all the future is not that great fact

[@gregskipa]

Flying vehicles for the general public will NEVER be a reality. The general public is TOO LAZY to perform the routine maintenance necessary to keep these airworthy.

[@jalapenomiles8226]

#Super #Awesome

[@ekoutomo7650]

We hope that someday aircraft as well car even motorbike will use anti gravity engines using magnetic power. In the future these engines can improve to use by space aircraft. Maybe there are more ideas for kind of future engines to help us transport from one place to another

[@tammykeplinger6696]

Yea know we will all have to worry about drunk flying

[@victore6242]

flying yacht!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@janethopper6750]

The best reason I've read on why they will never work as urban transport is wind. Imagine the streets filled with random helicopter propwash. Just can't work, too much wind.

[@asandax6]

The problem is still with Efficiency. Flying things uses more power than rolling them on the ground. Also the aspects of accidents makes it even more dangerous. We have roads but sometimes we still have accidents where cars run into houses and buildings now imagine of every car was flying.

[@homevalueglass3809]

Ha ha, yeah, you'd think there'd have to be some type of automation involved to keep everything from crashing into eachother. Air traffic contellers are already stressed out enough.

[@Xalbalfa]

Toutes ces batteries énormes à changer tous les deux ans, ça fait énormément de terres rares. Bonjour la pollution !!!

[@crustyoldfart]

By way of reminding everyone of historical developments in aviation : the 1930's was a golden age in terms of aviation development. Some forgotten facts from that era was that small aircraft know as " flying fleas " were so successful that the UK government had to refuse to permit their use, since traffic control would have been impossible, with the sky potentially becoming as congested as roads. The other noteworthy plane was the German STOL Fieseler " Storch " a high wing monoplane which could fly at speeds as low as about 50 Km/hr. Under certain wind conditions they would appear to be flying backwards relative to the ground. BTW imho Lighter Than Air vessels are everyone's secret love, and we all want them to succeed. The tough fact is that in anything like a fresh breeze that can become very difficult to control. Rainstorms also are highly problematic. Historically they have not had a happy history.

[@brentdobson6909]

As regards the Aether airship ..BRAVO.....and one must applaud this.... conceptually and chromatically ......brilliant..... set of interiors and their dramatic severance from the Earth ...one might imagine being handed a prestine set of user take home lounge runners...... (yellow black and or white )... to celebrate this fact.

[@cliffmorgan6085]

You forgot all about the Jetson. Single person flying drone like. Reaches 45 mph and is easy to nav.

[@ronsykes5035]

The DIELECTRIC VORTEX Technology by Ronald Frederick Sykes just G it. The Jetsons are my cousin's

[@EllaVloggs]

Going

[@revolution9129]

LAZARETH LMV 496, i would buy

[@markjohnston6127]

Try creating technology's that are going to help the planet not make it worse

[@NealeBaxter]

... but what happens when the DeLorean gets to 88 mph?

[@johnwood551]

I’m constantly amazed that people STILL want flying cars. Can you imagine what MILLIONS of people that you barely dodge out on the highway daily ,and you want them UP ABOVE you too ? People have little to no regard for safety laws driving down the highway and you want them flying over you on the street, or over your house , or over any and all National Parks and wilderness areas !? You may say: we’ll make laws as to what they can do. We have speed laws and restricted area laws now, so you see EVERYONE obeying them ? How about all the STONED people driving , think of them spacing out in the air running into buildings and mtn sides. Flying is tricky business as winds ,thermals, altitude and temperature affect how aircraft work. It takes training. Most people barely pass a driving test. Let’s not forget maintenance, most people don’t do ANY work on their cars until they break down. Aircraft have to be checked daily and have HOURY maintenance that has to be done. Quit thinking we’re the Jetsons.

[@donj4084]

TF-X is the best one I see here

[@mikesmith4352]

I have loved the idea of flying cars my whole life but honestly people, just observe the drivers around you and imagine these idiots in the air above you.

[@paulwilton735]

Barnum & Bailey.

[@trumanthomas4253]

I prefer a six engine design 4 for stability and 2 dedicated to forward propulsion

[@aktivbeats2535]

3:10 #18 I would love to have one of those. That's the best one on the list.

[@marleyboy7732]

I bet the person who invited the rc drone is insanely rich by now. Cause that person's toy has got to be the base of these designs.

[@trallfraz]

'that much CLOSER'??? According to Popular Mechanics, talking heads, and most movies in the '40's, '50's, '60's and '70's we were IN the future 22 years ago..........where is it??? And jet-packs have been around since Commando Cody......where's mine???

[@mehere8-32]

You want to give idiot car drivers another dimension to create havoc? I think I will live and travel underground.

[@cantseeneedcaps]

WHERE ARE ALL THE FLYING CARS YOU SAY, YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE YOU WERE GOING TO SHOW US SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES CARTOONS❕

[@GeriIndustrialDesignerPrivate]

that small Motor not keep in air 100kg ©

[@robertw1871]

Sky rage, oh I can’t wait

[@bricology]

"2021 means it's that much closer to the future". ^Someone^ doesn't understand how time works.

[@chaseshadow]

Haha

[@Rusonekox9]

Flying vehicles have existed for a while now. They're called airplanes and helicopters If you mean flying automobile cars and trucks.... Well we are not ready for regular cars what make you think we can handle airborne cars?

[@williamwilson3984]

Can't wait to see the first collision ,whether it's a rear end or head on .just how is traffic control going to handle any of this?

[@etoneetone]

Traffic leader meltdown ;)

[@trebronelruef5627]

My closest guess is a global blockchain where the miners have to solve the flight path, weather and charge puzzle. Once your flight path is confirmed by miners and is in the chain you are allowed to takeoff. If there is an unexpected failure during flight, you are fxxxked.

[@shawncourville487]

Wow ufo s

[@jonathanbain6454]

Designers need to consider the likely scenario of a prop blade flying off, in terms of safety design; most of those aircraft will decapitate the pilot - also note when ejecting - a rear prop will chew you up pretty quick. Also see the "Entothopter".

[@michaelcscott3088]

Oh don't be so pessimistic! So what's a little blood loss when you're flying instead of backed up in a traffic jam!!

[@charliepearce8767]

I love the fiction aspect of so many things these days.. I'm seeing it all the times these days and it even filtering into normal day talking... We can all dream up ideas, but there only ideas until they are actually built.

[@UnyahPe1601]

The Arab had invented the Flying Carpet more than a thousand years ago.🤔🤔🤔🤭🤭🤪😂🤣

[@jimdonaldson345]

I like the four wheel motorcycle that can also fly

[@camilocastillon]

This is like the early concept of the airplane before we got them today but now we already achieved a supersonic airplanes. I'm sure in the near future we're sure gonna fly with futuristic flying cars.

[@vandercudo]

Faster than a plane... But IT IS a plane!

[@schwimmelpuckel8328]

Problem with flying cars persists: They shitty cars and airplanes both! (Might change when we invent anti gravity though..)

[@andreahoehmann1939]

They are nice-looking, but - they all are just a combination of planes and helicopters.... Not any new ideas?

[@misterflibble6601]

20 Most Unusual Flying Vehicles That Will Never Change The World, because they're just umm.. blue sky ideas that only exist in a CGI Virtual reality

[@StevenKroeger]

Ohhhh Goodie

[@rushbayou5230]

odd in a time when they dont want us to own any personal vehicles, that ppl actually think they could own one of these. its a deceptive dynamic thats keeps the funding coming.

[@samsungdenpasar9886]

oiykor

[@jeanwetherbee5039]

I don't understand the metric system. Is 2 kilometers the same as 2 mph

[@chrigu70]

What evreryone ignores. These are flying machines - aircrafts! And they will require a pilots license. Exceptions may be full autonomus machines. Im sorry to break the high hopes, but this will not happen to the general public...

[@-P-C-]

I want a flying Deluxo just like in GTA IRL

[@robgable2426]

Wow I'm early! Not first! Lol!

[@Tryst46]

Most of these are still prototypes, some are still concept. It's unlikely we will see any of these in service much before 2024.

[@16nowhereman]

They all look like big drones to me.

[@corbingreiner9879]

"Flying for fun isn't green. " Can I still jump off a bridge?

[@richarddeese1991]

All this sounds really great. However... we've been thru this before, back in the 50s. They had real working prototypes of flying cars, and some companies even sold them. Of course, we've got much better tech today. But we face one problem that's exactly the same: there's no way in hell that we'll be zipping around like the Jetsons without fully autonomous vehicles. People just can't navigate in 3D space in some free-for-all. Otherwise, there would most likely be at least as many crashes and collisions as there are vehicles in the air! And no one's going to get stuck in traffic and then just fly away. Nope. tavi.

[@rjb6327]

I wonder what the insurance would cost?

[@sprintershepherd4359]

most of them are fully autonomous . i think give it ten years with better battery tek they will be a common site in some cities . or city country commuters

[@RoadieWingZZ]

With the inherent risks involved in using these in congested areas, I predict massive lawsuits and corporate bankruptcies will abound in the next 50 years.

[@gangleweed]

LOL.....we have enough trouble with motorised skateboards and bicycles on the public roads....... if you removed all of the lane markings on roads that defined traffic lanes you would have the same effect for an urban flying vehicle...........we have strict flying protocol for conventional aircraft, and I can't see it happening any differently for these type of private flying machines any time this century.

[@xro5841]

I'm getting to old for this shit. I grew up even a little before the Jetsons & one of my favorite short stories was about being driving into the city for work in a self driving car while I got an extra hour of sleep in the back with the windows auto tinted black. I am old enough to know & understand why it is never going to be just that simple. We have just gotten that much better at BSing our dreams & Ideas. But - Dream on. Maybe 2121

[@stevev3664]

These machines need to have a flight endurance measured in hours not minutes if they are going to be practical. The current generation of machines are a good start but that’s all.

[@michaelspencer2559]

We was supposed to have this already

[@michaelspeakman8924]

That will never fly in the United States. You can't even fly a drone anymore period without getting special paperwork period so that'll be a skip in the United States

[@reforgedcriterion1471]

Not even remotely true.

[@floydbertagnolli944]

Nice tech.- the centipede threat was stupid

[@berthageorge2627]

T.F.X, is the best so far, can it seat at least (4) ? No bland spot when driving on the road ?

[@jameshays9895]

Hey us

[@ronsykes5035]

Careful what you invest in

[@johnnanny4872]

Wow, I am really impressed about these particular flying vehicles.

[@raphaeladolini5805]

...this is ridiculous too, cars supposed to fly since Year 2000 and not people fly in drones It's just primitive 😞

[@ralphnabozny8494]

Germany must not have any birds

[@wildcard5269]

Yuh miss'd a few, why? Like Transcend Air's Vy 400R and the Speeder by Jetpack Aviation.

[@DrWoodyII]

Delorean!? Are you sure you want to use that name?

[@TheSantaCruzn]

With all the problems already listed, what about the noise? Imagine these flying over your house every few minutes.

[@ralphnabozny8494]

should be fun when your propellors break off

[@stevenkostamo1279]

If it is not practical, it will never get past the testing phase, the limits in physical properties of air, and energy density are competing with viability all over again. The limits are known already, and they are lacking what is practical, affordable, profitable, and therefore unsustainable.

[@jeffreychristopher5953]

If l were gonna mess with any of these it would be the TFX, my major concern would be the ability of these vehicles to negotiate bad weather in this age of climate change things like turbulence and lighting strikes, things that commercial aircraft have to deal with on a regular basis, govt will have to rear it's ugly head and regulate this new industry by issuing weather alerts and grounding of these veh's when public safety becomes an issue, then as many commenters have stated what about drunk flyers and idiot flyers, what kind of training would owners of these veh's have to go through to be certified ? Other than these concerns the future of flying vehicles can be a great step forward in transportation, maybe the Earth will resemble the planet Coruscant from the star wars universe who knows ?

[@dcarts5616]

Climate change? ROFL. I’m almost super old. I’ve heard for almost 6 decades that half of America was going to be either frozen over or flooded due to global warming and global cooling and now that the liars got caught they call it climate change buahahahaha! Each decade they changed the story. Last year one of the biggest climate change alarmists bought a $14 million home in Martha’s Vinyard, which sits right next to water. I can’t believe people still falling for this stuff. Sigh.

[@kleekboop]

thousands of cars in the air at the same time at rush hour with no lanes follow.. What could go wrong?

[@StevenKroeger]

Im Drivin Dirty

[@chfennell]

Meh. Flying cars have been flying since the 1940s. It's never been about the technology - it's always been about the practicality and the regulations.

[@dalepoppenhagen8549]

Looks like something from the Jetsons

[@kennethharrison1286]

That's Grate if you make 2or 3 million dollars a year . What about people that make a thousand dollars a month. Thay don't count ! Oh OK

[@rjb6327]

You do realize that "centipede" bit just ruins your credibility, don't you? The more motors you have, the more can go wrong.

[@Max86421]

Check out Jetson One... 😁

[@prassler]

everything's a freakin drone.. not all bad but...

[@ivalee1958]

sick

[@bjornvollheim7303]

How abot writing some of this vehicle into an James Bond or similar action movie.?

[@MRCWHITEDEERTX]

These are for billionaires not the poor man ! The working man will never see these in the garage. They will make gas vehicles illegal so the working man will be screwed over again. I don't see these coming to the common man anytime soon. It's like the dolphin jet boat that came out a few years ago. Still super expensive!

[@eltigre249]

Aircraft is both the singular and plural. Why is everything in kilometers? Do you really think the average person will deal with the concept of air highways? Notice all these 'fly' in bright, sunny weather. How do they handle storms?

[@GeriIndustrialDesignerPrivate]

virtual voice

[@beauxr.benoit1374]

#20. You might want to talk to the Ferringi about using their Starship design. And if it has less than four wheels, its a motorbike. Ask the D.O.T.D. Also, two things will have trust issue problems. One. No one will trust electric airplanes. Would trust something that could run out of juice half way there and possible over an Ocean? I wouldn't. Two. The only thing holding my butt safely is a magnet. No it won't, because I won't get on it, or in it. Whichever the FUCK is the correct term.

[@ronsykes5035]

The DIELECTRIC VORTEX Technology by Ronald Frederick Sykes just G it. Propellers are so passe

[@thesausagecontinuim1971]

honestly never thought i would live to see flying cars... shit yeh!!!

[@haroldluke6962]

Way cheaper to just use a helicopter and just put the automatic systems that will help you fly it . All this will be is a rare site

[@twoFrenchBunnys]

New concept of air traffic control will be inevitable.
