I think the problem of a "flying car" is that it will require a pretty major redefinition of "car". The way I see it, you have two common ways of generating lift: You either have spinning rotors on a vertical axis, like a helicopter or drone, or you have a propeller that pulls the vehicle forward, with air traveling over the wings to generate lift. If your idea of a flying car resembles the drone or helicopter, when we already have them, they're called helicopters. If you think of something with wings, when we already have them in the form of ultralight aircraft and small Cessnas. Neither of which are cars, and neither would you want in your neighborhood, since they're incredibly loud. Now, I know know Aeromobile exists and has created a plane with wings that fold and can be driven on streets, but it looks like it'd just be shitty as a car AND a plane.
