Even before the Jetsons, flying cars have been a dream of futurists everywhere. Even though the developments are simply concepts, one of the cars, the Terrafugia Transition, has now been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Check out this collection of flying cars and indulge your inner Jetson, with everything from next-gen carbon-neutral flying cars to flying Ferraris to airborne autos.
Implications - Companies that look beyond the horizon of what might already be possible or expected are companies that stand the best chance of discovering the next big thing. As a result, it's no surprise to see that more and more designs are emerging that attempt to put everyday consumers in the driver seat of a personal flying vehicle.
