Slide 4: My Content On Flying Cars Presentation..  Introduction  History  Flying Cars Now  And Future of Flying Cars

Slide 5: Introduction  Have you ever daydreamed about your car taking off and flying over the road?  Imagine if you could just flip a switch and unshackle yourself from the asphalt.  Creating a new type of transportation that doesn't rely on roads.

Slide 6:  At the beginning of a new century, we may see the realization of a century-old dream  The technology to make flying cars safe and easy to fly may finally be here  We will take a look back and examine some of the flying vehicles that you may soon be able to park in your garage in the next decade!

Slide 8: History  In 1903, pioneering men began chasing the dream of a flying car. There was even one attempt in the 18th century to develop a gliding horse cart, which, to no great surprise, failed.  HERE‘S A LOOK BACK AT A FEW OF THE FLYING CARS THAT DISINGUISHED THEMSELVES FROM THE PACK:

Slide 9: History  Curtiss Auto plane - In 1917, Glenn Curtis unveiled the first attempt at a flying vehicle.  His aluminium Auto plane sported three wings and a four-bladed propeller at the back.  The Auto plane managed a few short hops.

Slide 10: History  Arrow bile - Developed by Waldo Waterman in 1937, the Arrow bile was a car were the wings could be detached for storage.

Slide 11: History Airphibian - Robert Fulton, who was a distant relative of the steam engine inventor, developed the Airphibian in 1946. Instead of adapting a car for flying, Fulton adapted a plane for the road.

Slide 12: History  The wings and tail section of the plane could be removed to accommodate road travel.  It took only five minutes to convert the plane into a car.  The Airphibian was the first flying car to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Slide 13: History  ConvAirCar - In the 1940s, Vultee developed a two-door car equipped with a detachable airplane unit.  The ConvAirCar debuted in 1947,  And offered one hour of flight and a gas mileage of 45 miles  It crashed on its third flight!

Slide 14: History  Avrocar - The first flying car designed for military use was the Avrocar  Developed in a joint effort between Canadian and British military  The flying-saucer-like vehicle was supposed to be a lightweight air carrier that would move troops to the battlefield

Slide 16: These pioneers never managed to develop a viable flying car, Some even DIED! testing their inventions too

Slide 17: Flying cars now Flying cars may fill the skies in the next few decades. There are still some obstacles to overcome. But soon the cars are close to being finished.

Slide 18: Flying cars now  We are so close because of people like Kenneth Wernicke  Forming Sky Technologies to develop a small- winged flying car  His Aircar has flown at 200 to 400 mph (322 to 644 kph) and driven at 65 mph (105 kph).  It's also small enough to fit into an average parking space

Slide 23: And Future of Flying Cars In the future all this technology will develop so much that buses or even trains will fly. Instead of garages there will be launch pads by our homes There would be no need for roads so the wildlife can reclaim the land back. Turning old narrow alleys into large open fields or forests.
