Thumbs up Wanna fly?


Check this out!

An air-scooter... or is it a light helicopter!!!

65bhp twin cylinder 4 stroke engine, 19ltr fuel capacity for an hr of flight and costs a kool $50000.

The AirScooter Corporation has succeeded in developing a stable and affordable ultralight helicopter that uniquely combines the original helicopter coaxial concept of the past with the advanced materials and space-age engineering of the future. Sometimes the key to the future is found in the past. In this case the key was buried in a long line of failed attempts at coaxial flight. AirScooter Corporation, with this technological success, is looking back to the future of recreational flight and they love the view.

That, right now, is fiction. This is reality.

Another reality: There is a jetpack transportation module made by some Swiss. He successfully test-ran it recently. Something like the Minority Report's police jetpacks.

Flyin car... ala Fantastic Four, is far-fetched. It'll take more than 30 years.. maybe fifty or hundred to actually carry people safely. The closest we can come to a flyin car is a hovercraft.

For a flyin car to be a reality... afaik... three technologies can help...
1. Same like hovercraft... but more power. Disadvantage... it'll work only over solid ground; not water, not sand... and people or anythin mobile shouldn't come under it!!!! Almost impossible.. with our population.
2. ElectroMagnetic levitation... but for that it'll b necessary to make electromagnetic road-strips all around.. wherever the car has to move!!!
3. Antigravity has to be discovered and worked upon. That is the most feasible.. supposing it becomes a reality. Supposing it's invented... we'll first br wearing antigrav boots.. ala UnReal Tourney.

Any more flyin car concepts... anyone...
