FLYING CARS OF THE FUTURE
How
many times has science fiction turn to fact. You dream it! You can do
it! and it will really come to pass! everybody will be on air flying1 no
more traffic on road1 we have enough space on air.
It is, perhaps, one of the more enduring questions about the future: When will flying cars arrive? I don’t have an exact answer, but I’m optimistic that the first versions will appear within a decade’s time. No more late for work.
Just
think back 100 days ago owning an automobile was a really big deal and
involved considerable mechanical skills and expense.A lot of people
actually hated the dam things cos no money.
How beautiful it is to be on one of this things
And finally, If someone in the USA doesn't push to get a flying car on the market it will be done by somebody else in another country.ie Japan,China, India . And then they will be selling them here.

YEE flying car concept gives a glimpse of future transportation
yee flying car 2
What we design is a car easy to operate, which precisely satisfy the high-efficiency of the rapid pace of life; the intimate design and the use of new energy best embodies the contest theme: the harmonious coexistence of 'people-car-nature.YEE’s two different mobile modes are courtesy of the propeller fixed into the back wheels. On the road, the YEE is one amazing racing car, and when in the flying mode, it’s a real treat for those who want to soar high in the sky. Moreover, there is a flying station with a solar ceiling, which works both as charging station and a transit depot for the take-offs. The design lately won the “Gold Award of Best Creative Future” at the First International Concept Car Design Contest, which was held in Beijing.

Jet Bike of the Future
It’s a well known and studied fact that man kind will be using individual forms of transportation in the future and as scary as a jet bike might be, people imagine that too. This is Norio Fujikawa’s concept jet bike and it looks quite plausible mostly because it is inspired on the design of modern day sporty two-wheeled vehicles (that doesn’t make it less scary, if you ask me!).
Norio Fujikawa : “Envisioning a jet powered flying bike powered by an alternative method of propulsion!” These are the words on which the concept is based and they sound quite visionary. As supposed, Japan will be leading the industry.

The Lockheed Stratoliner is designed to be the
next step in passenger flight, flying higher and further than its
predecessors. Lockheed Martin was chosen as the focus of the study not
only because of its track history of producing some of the most
revolutionary concepts in aviation, but also it inspires other designers in other industries, such as the F22 stealth language being adopted by Lamborghini.
Based on the form of the Bar Tailed Godwit, a bird that holds the record for the longest recorded none stop flight without feeding at 11,680km. The large bird shaped wings help to generate enormous amounts of lift allowing the aircraft to fly at much higher altitudes where the air is thinner. Thinner air reduces drag on the airframe allowing higher top speeds whilst reducing fuel consumption.

SeaSTOL VLJ : Sea Short Take Off and Landing Very Light Jet
SeaSTOL VLJ stands for Sea Short Take Off and
Landing Very Light Jet. If you don’t get the idea of very light jet, you
might understand if the term used were “personal jet”. Based on Paul
Bertorelli from AvWeb the term of very light jet is not used in aviation industry anymore, the more popular term is personal jet. This future vehicle was born out of the intention to develop practical transportation design.
VLJs are small jet aircraft for about 5-8 people that are small enough to utilize small airports. In other words, in the future, it is very possible to take taxi flights from one point to another without compromise and saving a lot of your time. Eclipse is one of most well known VLJ companies, at some point they were looking at 5000 orders and increasing. There are about 20 new models coming between 2010 and 2014 that mainly focus on American market. However, not a single VLJ is a seaplane.

Ribbon 45 SC Yacht by Vripack
Ribbon 45 SC yacht features sharp edges, precise lines, clean surfaces, and short round corners. You can imagine a luxury and innovative yacht
since Ribbon 45 SC yacht has been designed to meet the expectations of
an enthusiastic private aviator and a design perfectionist of the Ribbon
Yacht’s founder.

A Childhood Passion Inspired Flavio Adriani To Imagine And Create A Lamborghini In An Eco-Friendly Way
Flavio Adriani, the designer, created the Lamborghini Concept EV
as a tribute to the man who changed everything about sportcars,
Ferrucio Lamborghini. The design, the lines, the impact of the car
derive from a beautiful, almost perfect combination of the Diablo and
Gallardo. The concept is not just about passion for Lamborghini, it also
is equipped with the latest technology regarding the drive train,
pollution, energy saving and
passenger safety. The car has an electric drive train, there are 4
electric engines in each of the 4 wheels. The energy this engine needs
to operate is gathered with the solar panels
placed over the engine compartment. These panels are V shaped, giving
the car a more aggressive look, it’s like the whole car says: “Eat my
dust!”. The designer also fitted a panel protecting passengers against
low frequency radiation. This radiation comes from mobile phones,
antennas and other wireless devices. These radiations have proven to be dangerous to human health bringing headaches, cancer and more.
For Flavio Adriani, the greatest challenge designing this electric Lamborghini was, how to bring the amazing sound of the engine that has been removed. The solution he found are wind turbines. The air enters the tubes through the front bumper and makes its way to the central turbine which gives it a jet engine sound. Imagine driving this staggering car in an ordinary city and every time you pass people by, they look up, trying to scout an airplane. That would be a beautiful feeling, driving a car with such an impressive history and passion within, that also sounds as an airplane.

Falcon Concept Car Features Great Power with Jet Propelled Engines
Falcon is a futuristic car concept that elegantly combines two different platforms into an innovative and highly functional racing car
with unique aesthetics. From the front, the falcon is a stylish car,
while the rear end features double rotatable jet propelled engines that
gives ultimate power to the car. Moreover, these engines push up the
rear end of the vehicle to achieve a vertical position for efficient
driving on the busy city roads. When the engines are turned off, the
vehicles become a big SEGWAY, creating more space in parking places by
taking less space.
Scout : Futuristic Two Seater Vehicle by Norio Fujikawa
Designers from all over the world are always trying to create
faster, rare and more functional transportation concepts. Scout is such a
two seater concept vehicle with two turbine engines that can attain top
speed of around 400 to 500 mph and a low altitude lift. The designer
has envisioned the vehicle in an exceptional way. Most of the viewers
during their first look will get puzzled with the narrower end of the
vehicle. While such narrower ends of other vehicles acts as the front,
Scout has been designed in a different and innovative broader front
outline.
