in #stemng6 years ago (edited)

The ideology and theory of flying cars are tantamount with the future in the likes of silver jumpsuits .

This is actually for those set of persons who thinks and wonder why the invention of a flying car has not being made, don’t get too comfortable because it was first created in the 1970s which turned out to be a great tragedy.

Scientists have delegated all their time and resources put together to see the success and perfection of a physical flying car since the destruction initiated by one of the inventors. The sole inventor of one of the first flying car Henry Smolinski by name was killed by his invention including his partner.

History also has it that Aeromobil a flying car company has produced and released a new limited edition of the flying car,
The automobile has two seat which is powered by an hybrid propulsion, it transforms from a driven car to a flying plane within three minutes. The car has the following capabilities which makes it spectacular.

Drivin range: 700km (434miles) Flight range: 750km (466miles) Speed: 160 kph(100mph) Aeromobil prototype was designed to be a vehicle which turns from automobile to an airplane with the newer versions with no wings that is foldable then attached fin to its wheels. Most flying cars designed by aeromobil general characteristics of accepting two passengers, length of 6m with width of 2.24m, four cylinder powerplant with 80KW engine. Their performances are exceptionally good.

THE EARLY BIRDS OF FLYING CARS INNOVATIONS
During the year 1926, Henry Ford who carried out a research on a single seat aeroplane that he referred to as “sky flivver ”

but later abandoned his development. This famous Henry Ford made a prediction and he stated

"Mark my word: a combination of airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile, but it will come.”

But then no one paid attention to his prediction due to the fact that the experiment he carried out on flivver crashed and took the life of the pilot on board.
Ford was pushed into advancing his designs and was fortunate to build “Volante Tri-Athodyne” a 3/8 car. The car has three fans that has ducts and he attached motor to each of them to enable it lift itself off the ground and travel through the atmosphere.
He went further and stated

"the day where there will be an aero-car in every garage is still some time off, the Volante indicates one direction that the styling of such a vehicle would take"

Later in December, 1949. an Aero-car which was designed as well built by another inventor Molt Taylo had a positive and effective flight which led to the production of new versions and models and they were also qualified for road and flying assessment.

THE MODE OF OPERATION
During car mode, when it moves on land some flying cars wing tends to fold and move at a high speed about 85 mph but the wings immediately unfolds as soon as it is put to flight mode. The air mode travels faster than the land mode at about 110 mph.
Some flying cars wings are not adjustable, it is built to move on open ground where there are enough spaces for it to move before taking off from the ground.

CONCLUSION
With the advancements in technology, the flying cars are real and they fly up to 430 miles, we have seen some on movies and the kind of speed embedded in them. This might not exist in some part of the world mostly the under developed or developing countries who can not afford it.
They have also advanced and modified the looks, some are equipped with cameras and can be operated remotely.
