# QuadCopter Remote-Controlled Cars The B Flying Car by Witold Mielniczek is a Two-in-One Toy By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-flying-car References: [ohgizmo](http://www.ohgizmo.com/2013/05/27/the-toy-we-never-knew-we-wanted-a-quadcopter-rc-car/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/user/mielnikuss) The B Flying Car is the ultimate toy for remote control enthusiasts. It traverses both land and air as though it were the latest and greatest vehicle for Batman. Or, at the very least, a Batman figurine. The B Flying Car essentially uses the same technology and format of the innovative [QuadCopter](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadcopter-v929) to better accommodate the need for both wheels and blades. The prototype for the B Flying Car was created by UK-based product designer Witold Mielniczek. According to Mielniczek, the wheels are "driven not by a center-mounted axle, but instead by cog mechanisms at the bottom of the rim. This leaves the center of the rings clear for [four 7-inch propellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroleap), which allow the vehicle to get airborne on the fly." Flexible and fun, the B Flying Car will be the envy of many. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Remote-controlled Flying Cars:** Creating and enhancing the technology that combines both land and air to better accommodate the need of both will lead to the creation of remote-controlled flying cars. - **Adaptable Toy Technology:** Advanced technology that leads to toys such as the B Flying Car, will create opportunities for more adaptive toys in the toy industry. - **Multipurpose Vehicle Technology:** Developing vehicles with dual functionality could lead to the creation of high-performing, multipurpose remote-controlled machines in the automotive industry. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Industry:** Innovative toy technology, like the B Flying Car, presents opportunities in creating more adaptable toys with more diverse functions for the toy industry. - **Automotive Industry:** Creating remote-controlled vehicles with dual functionality could lead to breakthroughs in the automotive industry that will create multipurpose machines. - **Drone Industry:** The B Flying Car's technology provides opportunities for innovation and improvement within the drone industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flying Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-concepts.md) - [Working Flying Car Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-prototype.md) - [Flight-Equipped Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroht.md) - [Camera-Equipped Remote Control Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snt-micro-fpv-car.md) - [Functional Flying Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a5-evtol.md) - [Airborne Electric Motorcycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6.md) - [Wind-Powered Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-flying-car.md) - [Modernized Superhero RC Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-wheels-rc-original-edition-batmobile.md) - [Whimsical Remote-Controlled Car Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remotecontrolled-cars.md)
