So the first actual flying cars will probably be just electric

Also, Muslims will be banned from owning/flying these...for obvious reasons.

Ghetto "rice" culture will become irrelevant because slapping on too many obnoxious/unnecessary mods to the aircraft will hinder its ability to fly (weight penalties).

moller's skycar is the most well known afaik

vtol are pretty complicated because they need a powerful engine and also it's hard to switch from hovering to a plane-like flight when the lifting force is provided by wings. without that switching they stay helicopters and there is a reason why we don't see many private helicopters, they are expensive, need a lot of fuel, hard to pilot etc

Flying cars will never be thing, not because the technology isn't there but because they will be too dangerous. Hover cars are much more likely. Just imagine the infrastructure money that would be saved cars and trucks constantly driving directly on the asphalt.

Moller's contraption used 4 mazda wankel engines (1 driving each fan) that presumably ate its own weight in fuel every flight

Modern VTOL concepts are mostly electric.

There are a few funcional ones.

It's just the lack of infrastructure and laws for it that stops it from being mass produced.

if anything flying cars are less dangerous than these hovering ones

i mean a lot of people already dies being run over by cars when the cars can move fast only by specially constructed roads with designated cross sections, borders and shit, now imagine you can be run over by a car that can and will move literally everywhere

his newest project uses some "rotapower 500" engines
