The wars of the future will be rather interesting.

[@blackshogun272]

Stephen Stinson I made a sci-fi story where in the future North and Central America, Western Europe and South Africa form the Eurocaan Empire and culture becomes infused with Victorian, Colonial, Dark Age and Futuristic. There are 2 Kings and Queens that rule the Empire and a giant parliamentary government. Law and Order are a big thing in this new Empire but eventually people see that their remaining liberties seem to be getting infringed upon by the ever growing State and Federal Knights (basically the police but wear partial knight armor). As for the military, they are composed of elite warriors that wear knight inspired power armor that has the strength to level small buildings with their fists and the average knight able to tank full 500 Kg bombs. Robotic horses and dragons are employed by advanced units when waging war with other countries while the police use hover bikes. Using advanced tech has allowed the Eurocaan Empire to grow back entire forests and resurrect extinct species wiped out but their barbaric ancestors. With the new tech solely powered by unique electricity and the most powerful fusion reactors, a The Eurocaan Empire is the most advanced civilization on Earth ! While the rest of the world schemes in evil jealousy and malice, the Empire reigns supreme. How did like my future incarnation of western civilization ?

[@voltaire5427]

BlackShogun 27 It’s interesting. Why does society move towards a medieval aesthetic? Why dragon and horses instead of jets, drones, etc? Is there lore behind the reasoning?

[@blackshogun272]

Stephen Stinson after the Great Burning Apocalypse, the humans of North America and European Nations refused to use nuclear weapons and weapons of immediate mass destruction. The countries that fight against or aligned to the Eurocaan Empire use advanced nuclear power to run their societies and this discusses the descendants of the Empire. With a monarchy in place that holds way more authority than the current one of current day Britain, but still bound to certain rules of the New Magna Carta, The Eternal Bill of Rights, and intercontinental parliamentary body. Drones are still used by the Empire but are designed like large predatory birds. And for small surveillance drones they have are like your everyday bird and actually look realistic unlike the beautiful and mechanical beast mechs. As for society doing a basic 180, I thought from the heavy British the world previously had on the world all those centuries ago, I thought it'd be nice to make an homage to the actual cool clothing the men and women wore. As for the technology they use, it's like ours but with holograms and floating vehicles more frequent.

This device is a prototype of the flying car. Combining 6 or 8 engines from Flyboard Air with Mini Car we can get the Fying car of future!

[@UnknownSquid]

Not fuel efficient enough to be what people would want from a flying car, and also incredibly loud, but the technology will certainly create some impressive compact aerial vehicles. Just expect stuff more in line with sports, recreation, and maybe special utility, rather than anything remotely viable as a commuter.

[@jonathanwheatley1424]

The Wright brothers flew for 59 seconds (852feet) only 60 years later the SR71 flew beyond Mach 3.2, this becoming a modern transport is a possibility...

[@UnknownSquid]

@Jonathan Wheatley True, but that doesn't really change what I said. The fuel efficiency issue isn't going to change even near sufficiently regardless of advancements in the turbines. A modern car rated for decent fuel efficiency reaches around 42-74 miles to the gallon. Even a worst case example, driving a literal armoured car, still gets around 12mpg. To compare, the Sikorsky S-76C++ twin turbine helicopter, a modern light weight and highly fuel efficient example, gets only about 1.65 mpg. That's nearly *30 times* more expensive to run than a common car over the same distance. The advanced micro turbines used in the Flyboard are LESS efficient than a regular helicopter, and require a more expensive specific fuel. Sure, the engineering can be improved on, and sure new fuels or refining processes might be developed, but the raw physics and energy requirements are always going to remain constant. A flying vehicle requires DRAMATICALLY more energy to remain aloft. Personal flying transports like this have existed and been entirely possible ever since WW2, but they have never entered common use for these very simple reasons. The Flyboard has made huge leaps in performance, but nothing in terms of the specific obstacles a "flying car" faces. We could easily build one right now using this tech, and it would probably perform brilliantly, but no one would actually want to use it.

[@dmitrydzhagarov2557]

Glider can fly without any fuel. The main thing is how to use wings and how to use fuel ! Quick take off and hover on the wings - the secret of success. For example newatlas.com/gasoline-powered-uav-single-flight-five-days/49944/

[@felixcat9318]

This prototype has true potential, and with a thorough development programme will become a reliable, well designed, engineered and built personal flight system with an endurance somewhat longer than ten minutes.

Eu cred ca se consuma foarte multa energie pentru echilibru si pentru stabilitate atat din partea aparatului cat si din partea pilotului . Probabil propulsia ar trebui la nivelul umerilor si mai distantata in lateral (doar propulsia} . Bravo . In sfarsit incepeti sa eliminati rotile de cauciuc si asfaltul .

I wanna know how this works. Does it have stabilisers in it like a drone does

[@marvinkitfox3386]

Mostly balance is handled like the Segway. I.e. a semi-smart computer with very fast responses to keep the flyer under you.
