Sounds like a yet another one-time innovation that's so expensive that it isn't even used in spaceships
A flying car was planned for 2024 so let's wait and see
Thank god we got that wrong.
They are called "helicopters" and have existed for a while.
Helicopters usually don't have wheels and they can't drive at 65 mph on the ground
Why would you want to drive on the ground? It's a helicopter.
Because flying consumes 10x the fuel.
Isn't flying the whole point though?
Idk I don't think it's the only point
because they don't need to... but it would be trivial to add wheels if you really need them.
Yeah I bet. Every company does this shit
its pretty uncommon usually ... they just present the research usually and never give you an ETA
