LadySkinsFan Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Like in the Jetsons, we need flying cars that collapse into briefcases. I always thought that was the coolest thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It isn't the correct question. The correct question is: "Are Flying Bikes the Solution to Everything?" I personally believe the answer is undeniably "yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Moseley Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yeah, That's what we need in an all ready crowed airspace, Lots of small flying bikes darting & dashing through flight routes Just like motorcycle riders weaving through traffic on a crowed highway. It's a Controller's nightmare And back in the '50's there were companies selling helicopters that you could store in your garage "A Helicopter In Every Garage" I was thought the coolest aspect from the Jetsons was the menu you had a Meat Pill,Veg. Pill, Fruit Pill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrock Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Can only stay in the air for 5 minutes. That's not really long enough to get you anywhere. It also looks like nobody was brave enough to get on the thing either. They had to use a mannequin, with a guy using a remote control box. I think I'll pass.

Koolblue13 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Maybe we should just put saddles on drones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes, flying bikes are the solution to road traffic. A terrifyingly dangerous solution, but a solution all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 if it flies, is there really a need for it to look like a bike? Sure, that way you can look like Ms. Gulch in the Wizard of Oz or the kids in ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Its probably a weight issue, using the mannequin. I doubt a normal sized person could be lifted with battery power. let alone a big dude like myself. But hey, this could be just the beginning. Next Gen GPS will be sweet. You plug in your destination and the navigation system will give you a set route, speed, altitude and a clear airspace to follow, avoiding other flying vehicles, airports, helicopters, etc... stray from the course and you get fined. you wont be able to land just anywhere, of course... but in the future, who knows?
