Abstract

The article discusses the absence of flying cars in the present day, despite their frequent appearance in science fiction. Aerospace engineers are working on developing flying cars that would combine features of airplanes and helicopters, with prototypes already being tested by some companies. However, cost and battery efficiency remain significant barriers to the widespread adoption of flying cars for personal use. Regulations and safety testing are also necessary before flying cars can become a common mode of transportation. [Extracted from the article]
