@sharkfucker420 We would have flying cars and spaceships in future
The future:
That's a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It's not cheap. If you can't afford a second Ferrari don't bother.
The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.
@SlopppyEngineer Ok so define flying car? How is a flying car possible lol. Shape of car will be aerodynamic maybe
https://www.pal-v.com/ is one for example. Certified for road and air. You need a pilot license and a driving license. And it needs a short runway to take off or land. €499,000 excluding tax.
Holy gucamoly! How does the engineering work?? I never seen something like this bruh 🤯
Edit: Damn, seems like something like this was tried before too but did not last for long it seems

Yeah, turns out it's easier and cheaper to charter a jet and rent a car at the destination.
