The concept of flying cars emerged to bring down pollution and an easy and safe mode of transportation with in a lesser time these can be commercially licensed aircraft powered by advanced technology futuristic helicopters. Companies around the world are racing to create the next new thing in transportation.
The air-flying car has become mainstream, and several concepts look prominent in this technology. The car can carry on flight mode to drive mode within a minute and take wing or touch down in small airports or highways.
The expected speed of flying cars generates from 100 mph and rich to an altitude of 10,000 feet. The business companies and groups that contribute their work in flying cars are Volkswagen and Airbus, Lilium, volocopter, Terrafugia, etc.
The chief executive officer of Lacuna technologies, Hugh Martin, said that air flying cars would be free to be available till 2024; the rules and regulations on air traffic are quite untold. To demonstrate the futuristic air traffic, Federal Aviation Association (FAA) and NASA experimented with drones and duplicate aircraft to solve the issue related to air traffic.
Development in batteries vitality and power, other stuff, and exciting machinery will stimulate the scale of specific flying vehicles. Most of the advancements will be done, such as fuels replacing batteries and propeller blades replacing rotor machines to reduce noise and provide faster communication rather than conventional mode of transportation.
What if charging batteries would die?
That’s the most frequent question that comes to mind when knowing that air-flying vehicles run on batteries. The Canadian-based company, Openeraero, introduces openeraero, black flying cars, which run on batteries 130 km/ hr to 65 km in single batteries. After the battery dies, the system switches on another charged battery automatically.
How much land will it take to take off and to land?
That’s another question that arises, as, like aeroplanes and helicopters, it occupies huge land per metro city to take off and to land. But here, advancement on propeller blades takes place, new technologies adopting rotor machinery batteries rather than propelled blades as it helps in vertical landing no more land occupies.
How many seating capacities is it going to permit?
Initially, the FAA permits 3 to 5 heads to go on with the pilot seat, enough to fly comfortably with the pilot.
What if one gets self-driven flying cars?
Yes, this will also be possible. You need to have just driving experience under the expertise and a license certificate under the FAA.
What if you fly like an airplane and drive like a car?
The Chinese-based company, Terrafugia, introduced an aircraft with both handling in air and land and separated with the combined pod. The ground vehicle has a driven and flight vehicle has the pilot given the complete security of the pod.
What can one do in an emergency?
It would help if you had an emergency. Whether it might stop the batteries or any system, you must switch to a parachute button in an emergency landing, safe landing. The flying car is furnished with lidar and a radar system to avoid two vehicles’ collisions between mid-air collisions.
Five months ago, news came, successful experimentation of an electric flying race car for the initial testing in Australia. Named Alauda air speeder MK3 has conducted its first robotic test flight with the agreement of Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority with weightage of 130 kg and 4 m long at a speed of 150 to 250 km/ hr.
