dreamt of flying to make that dream possible they've come up with the most
unbelievable inventions as we know flying cars didn't appear overnight
different prototypes of flying machines have been created and improved over the
years and they continue to do so in this video you will see the evolution of some
of these flying cars number 10 Kurtis auto plane if you think that flying cars
are a ping these days you need to know that they've been in the news for quite
a while as they started to be real in the early 1900's the Kurtis auto plane
is considered the first flying car in the world it was manufactured in the
year 1970 and unveiled at the New York pan-american exposition by the aviator
named Glenn Curtis the model consisted of an enclosed body with plastic windows
it could be driven by a propeller powered by a 100 horsepower Curtiss oxx
engine using shafts and belts a special feature about the auto plane was that it
was equipped with detachable wings this car which was named the area limousine
had enough room to accommodate the pilot and two passengers it also features a
heater and works on a four wheel chassis it was 87 feet long with a 40 feet
wingspan it could reach a maximum speed of a hundred five kilometers per hour
it's a shame that the execution of this prototype was interrupted by the
beginning of the first world war number the Tam Pierre wrote of all the Tam
Pierre roadable was a biplane and was exhibited for the first time at the
paris air salon in the year 1920 reign Tam Pierre a French inventor flew it in
the show for a short period of time Tam Pierre built it and had the intention of
marketing it to the French military the roadable had two engines a 220 kilowatt
hispano-suiza 8-feet water-cooled v-8 engine to fly and a 7.5 kilowatt for
slender and slurry engine to go on the road the wings were removable to park
the vehicle in a garage it also featured lightweight components and the steering
connection for the wheels it could be tucked in for less drag in
the air after the show at the Paris salon tippier drove it around Paris for
two hours reaching a speed of 15 meters per hour this spy plane was 8.5 meters
long with the 13 meter wingspan it was 2.8 meters high and weighed 1.3
tonnes number 8 Fulton air phibian
twenty four years after the invention of the champion roadable the American
architect and inventor Robert Edison Fulton jr. designed this roadable
aircraft in 1945 the vehicle had space for only two people it featured an
aluminum body with independent suspension removable wings and a tail it
was also equipped with four aircraft sized wheels and a six-cylinder 165
horsepower engine although it was intended more as a roadable aircraft
rather than a flying car the concept was approved by the Civil Aviation
Administration and the air phibian could fly successfully Charles Lindbergh even
piloted it an unfortunate fact is that the TAM pair never attracted investors
due to the inherent compromises of air and car technologies and financial
difficulties therefore Fulton never built a production version it could
reach a maximum speed of 120 miles per hour in the air and 50 miles per hour on
the ground in the later years it was used in one of the James Bond movies
numbers Shepard convair car this flying car was manufactured in 1947 by the
famous Swiss industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss it consisted of a fiberglass
car body with space for four seats attached with a wing and engine module
to the roof it had a 190 horsepower lycoming aircraft engine to fly and a
small Crossley 25 horsepower engine for the road
the wing and aircraft engine module could be removed and towed behind the
car the convair car had a 35 foot wingspan unfortunately it was never put
on the market because when it was being tested in the air it crashed and the
pilot died numbers Tayler Aerocar the american engineer
Moulton Taylor was inspired by the early detachable wing air phibian to make this
two-seater flying vehicle the Aero car in 1949 most parts of this interesting
vehicle such as the frame wings tail and ailerons were made of aluminum to make
it light in addition the fuselage was covered in fiberglass panels the Aero
car was also equipped with a steering wheel a hand throttle and a single 150
horsepower lycoming engine that powered a removable pusher propeller the wings
which could be folded back in five minutes had a wingspan of 34 feet the
design was quite sporty stable and pleasant to fly it was 21 feet long
could go 60 miles per hour on the road and could fly a hundred and seventeen
miles per hour the altitude this model could reach was
limited to 12,000 feet and it cost between 10,000 and 25,000 dollars number
five auto plane the auto plane was an idea of Leland Joey Bryan a Buick
technician at General Motors Milford proving grounds in the year 1953 he
started to create the first of three versions of this bolting one airplane
with a fuselage frame made of welded steel it was powered by a 40 horsepower
continental engine with a pusher propeller configuration the propeller
which was also the power source for the auto plane on the road was protected by
a cage formed for the wings when they were folded the three versions had a
wingspan of just 22 feet Bryan tested the first and second version more than
1,000 miles reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour however when he was testing the
third version in 1974 he crashed it and died according to reports the accident
happened because a warning light did not alert Bryan that one wing have not been
locked in place for flight number four Mizar flying Pinto this was
a hybrid between a car and an airplane invented by Henry Smolinski this
roadable aircraft was manufactured by advanced vehicle engineers of Van newest
in Los Angeles California between 1971 and 1973 the design consisted of a
Cessna Skymaster wing and a 210 horsepower engine assembly attached to a
Ford Pinto the Cessna parts were removable but the Mizar had no provision
for towing the plane parts behind the Ford Pinto when it was on the road this
vehicle had space for one pilot and three passengers was also equipped with
functional technologies such as air speed gauge a directional gyroscope a
radio navigational equipment and an altimeter it was 8.5 meters long with
11.50 eight meter wingspan the entire Mizar was intended for production and
expected to sell for less than $19,000 but design Henry Smolinski and pilot
Harold Blake died in a test flight crash such a tragedy number three the pono's
Esperanto Jesse James a motorcycle builder created this airborne vehicle to
perform stunts on his reality show monster garage in 2006 he tore out the
interior of a pen hose as ferrante car to make room for a roll cage he attached
handmade wings a rear tail and a propeller engine he then took the
creation to an airstrip to test it near Kitty Hawk North Carolina the vehicle
flew in a straight line and then hit the ground as the Wright brothers plane did
in the first test flight James could get the 305 horsepower Ford v8 powered
Esperanto airborne on the runway and after hitting a speed of 80 miles per
hour this car flew in just three seconds which translates to about 350 feet of
airborne distance that distance was three times farther than the distance
flown by the Wright brothers a hundred and eight years ago
number two you the Moller Skycar the Moller Skycar was developed by the
Canadian engineer Paul Muller this vehicle was in testing for some decades
since 1967 now it's marketed as the fifth
generation of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft though it's basically a
small vehicle but it had enough space to accommodate four passengers it's compact
size allowed it to run on the roads at a low speed for short distances but in the
air it shows it's a real power it can reach a speed between 400 and 500 km/h
when it's flying the sky car was using four rotor power turbine engines for
lift and propulsion it was also equipped with short wings it was six point five
meters long and had a landing footprint of ten point seven meters it had a
payload of 377 kilograms it's not worthy to know that the sky car
used ethanol as fuel its price was $500,000 for a prototype number one
Terrafugia transition this flying car was manufactured for the first time in
2009 by the company Terrafugia however like many similar projects it seemed at
times like this vehicle would never fly now the manufacturers claim to finally
be ready to put the transition into production in 2019 and happens to be the
first street-legal airplane it's compact size gives it the possibility to be
parked in any garage it's equipped with folding wings that can be stowed and
deployed electrically and a big twin tail the company promises a new
improvements for this two-seater vehicle these improvements include a new
gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain which delivers a 400 mile range and a
top speed of a hundred miles per hour comfortable interior upgraded seatbelts
and airbags three rear view cameras road-going mode and a parachute system
it's noteworthy that the transition can reach the height of 9,000 feet that
allows it to fly easily above traffic on the road
