Abstract
Traffic congestion is a big problem that most people face in their day-to-day lives. A good way of combating this congestion is to unlock the third dimension through the implementation of flying cars. Flying cars allow for the traditional “wheels on the ground” method of transportation while simultaneously letting drivers take to the skies to cover longer ranges or fly over heavily populated areas. Our proposition is the appropriately named Futuristic Flying Car. It provides space for four people, a 700-pound carrying capacity, and a range of 400 miles. It also offers the ability to unfold its wings and takeoff at a runway. This paper details the research and engineering that went into the creation of the Futuristic Flying Car.
