Flying cars concept has been doing around a while , this presentation provides a gist about drones and their availabilities.

3. INTRODUCTION
• A century ago, aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss debuted the Autoplane, a three-seat
car-cum-aircraft with removable wings. Ever since, automobile and aviation
enthusiasts have been dreaming of “flying cars.”
• “Mark my words. A combination of airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile
now. But it will come”.— Henry Ford, 1940

5. NEED OF FLYING CARS
• Reduces time
• End of the era of congested roads
• Make long commutes tolerable

6. DRONES & FLYING CARS -
AVAILABILITY
• These vehicle concepts have been under development since the 1980s, and
various prototypes already exist, with the majority capable of vertical takeoff and
landing (VTOL).
• From helicopters and small drones, to military jets and flying taxis, VTOL is the
future

10. UBER FLYING TAXI SERVICE
• Uber is showing off its latest “flying car” concept at its second annual Elevate
conference in Los Angeles.
• The aircraft, which the company hopes to use to launch as an aerial taxi service by
2023, is a mashup of a plane and a helicopter. Instead of a tiltrotor, this design has
four stacked rotors along the spine to give lift, which then stow away during landing.
There is also a fifth rotor on the tail to allow forward propulsion. If one rotor fails, the
others will continue to operate for a safe landing.
• Uber has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA to create a brand-new air traffic
control system to manage these low-flying, possibly autonomous aircraft.

12. MECHANISM
• Stacked co-rotating rotors or propellers have two rotor systems placed on top of
each other rotating in the same direction. Initial experimentation of this concept has
revealed the potential for significantly quieter performance than traditional paired
rotors and improved overall performance.
• They will fly at an elevation of 1000 or 2000 ft.
• Piloted by humans first , eventually it will fly autonomously
• VTOL

13. DISADVANTAGES OF FLYING
CARS
• Cars need fossil fuels that people continue to complain about due to the high
financial and environmental costs. Having to buy both regular fuel plus kerosene
plane fuel would be way more costly.
• Difficult to drive
• Depends on weather conditions
• Air Traffic
• Accidents will be more
• Expensive

15. CONCLUSION
• A decade ago, driverless cars seemed a little more than a futurist’s vision. Today,
nearly every automaker and many major technology companies are investing
billions in their development, with many predicting their widespread availability near
the turn of the decade. Likewise, flying cars may today seem like science fiction.
Where will we be a decade from now?
