With his prototype for the 'Machine-Fly' [flying motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-ichiban-electric-motorcycle), inventor and designer Gonzalo Guerrero will see that we'll soon become 21st century kids in the manner that the Jetsons producers predicted.

The form of this [aerodynamic scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-olto) has been conceived for maximal reduction of friction while in flight. Although the actual technology for lifting this vehicle from the pavement has yet to be developed, the 'Machine-Fly' prototype is an attempt to create a sleek shell for the application of new discoveries made in [personal aviation apparatuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mostavio-mx1).
