RE: It's Time to Start Designing Flying Cars!
Makes sense, I'd never really thought about the cities being abandoned, but I know that I would get out of town more if I could fly!
I think I skipped aerodynamics because I can imagine an 'engine' that manipulates time as the craft travels, so that the machine is always 'in front of' the atmosphere, or already there. It would act as a teleporter if the traveler was in a big hurry, instantaneous arrival. Is that possible? I don't know, but time will tell.
It is very much possible. But, they will be built in air tight rooms, usually underground. Very stable.
Riding in a car that used that propulsion would not be enjoyable.
Its like having your body smashed a few times a second.
And even if you could nullify that somehow, the view would be like watching an old television.
But, like i said, there will be hover platforms in the near future, but not sure how propulsion is going to be done. Sure, you could put a big fan on the back.
But, manipulating the car like you have outlined, or inferred, you need to have ... i don't know what they will be called... pods, at least 3, spaced evenly around the driver. And then moving through the air, you have to have known lift in each direction you might travel (including wind /shear) any of which could send you up or down real quick. Which is not good when flying.
