Flying cars are waste of resources.
1-) Too noisy to be used in cities. Imagine every family have a flying "car" in the city there would be a constant loud humming sound in the city.
2-)Not safe, landing, taking of, colliding in air, breaking down in air, crashing in the air to a building. Lots of crash possibilities with sure fatalities.
3-) A 300 kg flying car needs to exert 300 kg, down ward force in order to fly. Imagine thousands of these cars flying above the city, nightmare.
So, we won't see any flying car before solving these issues. And i don't think in the next 100 years we will be seeing any "flying car" in our cities.
The flying car industry is hard at work to solve these issues.
A flying car is actually a flying taxi in that people will not own them but they will rent them for the duration of the trip. In fact because the laws require it first flying taxis will be piloted and they will be like helicopter replacements. Less noisy than a classical helicopter, fully electric and short range. However vehicle developers will have to
prove that their vehicles are safe for the aviation authorities to allow them to operate. China went out of the way to allow eHang air taxi to operate as touristic sightseeing vehicles along certain paths.
There will be levels of usage in time where initially certain predetermined flight paths will be allowed, like flying car airlines in urban settings. And in rural areas it will be pretty much free roaming.
There will be separation based on time of flight and place of flight to provide isolation between vehicles.
Safety comes first, air taxis were allowed in cities long time ago using helicopters but accidents caused them to be banned. So flying car is not a must have thing but a nice to have thing.
There are good flying cars and bad flying cars and in time the bad ones will be eliminated and several major designs will dominate the market. Some experts put this number to 6-7 different models, makers.
It will happen but very slowly and we will have time to reconsider them along the way.
Pure electric ones can only fly like 5 minutes but the laws requires them to have a minimum of 10 minutes reserve battery power which pretty much non of the current models can satisfy. So the advertised specs are way off and simply wishful thinking. But there may be hybrid ones and fuel-cell ones with longer time.
Cezeri is pure electric.
