If all the science projects were put together some of the most interesting ones would deal with flying. And since getting around in cars can get a bit tedious if you get stuck in a traffic jam it is natural to think that it would be better to make that personal family car fly to the destination of your choice.

So will flying cars ever come out of sci fi movies and books and become a reality? That’s a question that car designers have been asking themselves for decades. Some designs have worked and many other have not. But with each failure the eventual success gains credibility.

Of course once you have real flying cars around there will be other questions as well. Such as how would a flying car be classified? As an aircraft or as a road vehicle. What will be the fuel that it will use? Will it be a green car or will it guzzle non renewable resources? Of course these are minor questions when dealing with the actual thing.

So how soon can you expect the first flying car to be parked in the family garage? Not for a decade as yet, but its coming. And just maybe that science fair project model that you are working on in your garage is the prototype.
