naisip ko na tamang design equipment so man can fly safely.

It shoud be like yung posture ni magneto(xmen). Parang nagmemeditate lang and not so fast. Controlled and Balance.

Hindi pwede yung superman na taas kamay. Too aggressive.

Pinanuod ko kasi ulit days of future past. Habang tumatagal nagugustuhan ko na si magneto.

Flying cars? I hope not. I think it will forever remain a novelty or in experimental stage. Maybe it will, at most, replace or augment chartered flights or helicopters. But it’s never going to be available in mass numbers. Well, that’s my hope.

Imagine the saftey issues if we have thousands of them flying above in very close proximity. On the ground after a crash or accident, vehicles stay put. If the same thing happned in flight, well, we will have cars falling out of the sky, possibly on other cars, people’s homes, and pedestrians. Systems will have to be designed to be triple or quadruple redundant. The flight and navigation systems will have to be perfect, must be able to talk to other vehicles in the vicinity, and make correct judgments for obstacle avoidance.

GPS will be the new “road” and will also have to be improved. Accuracy should be measured in centimeters or even millimeters, not meters.

Video: Filipino inventor takes 'flying car' for successful test flight

It's a flying car type of vehicle that uses drone technology.

After six years of working on his 'Ultralight Aircraft', a Filipino man conducted the first successful test flight of his homemade flying car. Kyxz Mendoza of Quezon City was elated to see his invention 25 feet off the ground. He shared a video of the breakthrough ion social media.

He said the 'Ultralight Aircraft' uses drone-style multi-copter technology to attain flight.

"We've been having bad weather so it took us a while after our deadline. But after two months of tuning, here it is. I hope everyone will give this vehicle a positive reaction. This was only a dream for us five years ago," UPI quoted Mendoza as saying. After the successful maiden flight, the inventor is now seeking investors to mass-produce the vehicles.

''It's like a drone car," Mendoza said. "I wanted it to be a sports car, a flying Lamborghini, maybe. The design was a trial and error process. Some materials burned up on use. Other materials didn't quite work,'' he added.

"flying car" as a cheaper alternative to helicopters. yes. would be useful in delivering relief. transporting the injured. etc

but for commuting purposes to be used by the thousands. nope

Madami rin siguro magiging kamote Driver ng Flying car. Unless sobrang prohibitive ang price.

But who knows. I'm sure the people of yesteryear were laughing when pioneers said the horse-driven wagon will be replaced by machines. Look at what we have now.

those who laughed back then simply didn't have the imagination.

the flying car is already technically feasible. but there are a lot of things going against it:

1) noise. we don't have the tech to cut down the noise

2) lots of wind. simple physics. to generate lift you need to suck air then push it down hard. or burn fuel like in jet/rocket. we simply don't have the sci-fi style levitation technology yet

solve those 2 problems and flying car becomes viable. but should be computer controlled. not manually flown by idiot humans

They should make sure it doesn't stall in mid air.
