Future Flying Cars

Published by admin under Autos

Future flying cars have intrigued people for decades. But, people still kept yearning for future flying cars, the kind like a regular automobile, but one that could put people above the angst of rush hour traffic, highway closures, detours and traffic jam causing accidents.For instance, the Moller flying car ( see the picture above ) is just one such vehicle with its four ethanol driven rotary engines that can either drive like a car or take off like a Harrier jet. The latest rendition is the Moller Skycar M400, which is taking preorders and is expected to make its commercial debut by 2009 or 2010.So future flying cars are not that much into the future. Within a couple of short years, your future flying car may be your present everyday car and flying will be as commonplace as honking your horn at another driver is today.What do you think…?

SkyTran
SkyTran is a concept for high-capacity and high-speed personal rapid transport developed by an American Company UniModal Transport Solutions. This SkyTran system is two-passenger vehicles, propelled and suspended by maglev system. These are laid out in a one mile by one mile networked grid throughout the city. A large number of small departure and exit portals are placed underneath the guideways at approximately every 400 metres or at every city block. SkyTran has no fixed routes or timetables. Users can simply enter any departure portal, get into the first empty vehicle in the queue and select their destination. The vehicle then speeds up on the acceleration lane and enters the high-speed overhead guideway. Great concept, this will definitely reduce traffic jam, but with only two passengers for each pod, what about families ? Using SkyTran they have to sit separately. Hopefully UniModal will come up with new model or updated version of the SkyTran pods. [...]
