I said as they are seen in films. The ones in films vtol right next to pedestrians and other vehicles and have no wings. To achieve that, they are not pushing air around.
Of course you can always get a microlight, but they already exist and they are not flying cars.
- marvin 13y agoThere are huge engineering avenues that haven't been explored at all in this regard. As I said, all contemporary aircraft have large wings in part because they have to maintain high lift at low speeds, when landing. There is a big likelihood that some design compromise could be made where a lifting-body design, foldable wings or similar concept could be used to make a much smaller and more lightweight vehicle. A more realistic answer to your initial post is that we don't know yet, not that it is impossible.
