After years of development, the BlackFly personal aerial vehicle will soon be on sale. Correspondent John Blackstone set out to see how someone with no flying experience could manage behind the controls.

Honestly what do you expect flying car to look like? if it's to be vtol it has to have rotors, if it wants to have any energy saving in forward flight it needs some wings, even stub ones. You could slap jet engines into frame looking like in Blade Runner but it wouldn't be the best option probably

How is this in anyway an improvement on older designs? In no way a flying car. It looks unstable even in calm wind. 20 mile range is absurd and its intended method of landing is plopping it's carbon belly on the ground. This ain't it.

@HamburgerHelperDeath 3 года назад

He said it’s like the car 120 years ago. Right now the range is 25 miles, in 10 years it may be 200. If it can take off straight away, use automation and travel 100-200 miles, there would be a lot of wealthy people who would use it. Eventually it gets cheaper and cheaper.

@lucaforgia883 2 года назад

This is so cool, but it will work only if it remains something for few (maybe). The moment everyone can have one, it's the moment the sky will be so crowded it's going to be slower and dangerous than using a car. There are so many car accidents, and in a car you don't have to worry about every directions, 360 degree, plus up and down. If you want to make this for everyone, the flying machines have to be autonomous, without human interaction. Also, right know there are already countries where normal little drone are regulated and can't fly everywhere. You will never be allowed to fly wherever you want. And if you can't fly wherever you want, but you have to follow some kinds of "fly streets", these machines became useless. So... I hope I'm wrong.

@cjermainesmith5229 Год назад

That isn't a " flying car "that's a single person helicopter..clickbait😅 And I share the other comment that there would be massive single non pilot crashes everywhere and the only profit would be made is how much they pay the clean up crew ... Forward thinking is fine but get the PLAN together.
