  This might fly...in the face of danger

  Fri, April 7, 2006 - 8:01 AM

  saw this before but it's ill planned and designed modularly...what will be required for a flying car to be a practical solution...is a new set of design parameters inclusive of newly developed materials whose functions is included in the form...nanotechnology will supply said materials...however non-linear thinking is required to utilize them

    I agree with the modular aspect, (Hate folding wings) New materials excluded, the flying car in the future is a robot in the air...no human interference...3-d space is unforgiving with the best pilots. Some aerodynamic form will be created with in a 8’ x 12’ space controlled with computers and drive. (fingers crossed)
    
    I need to call Burt Rutan.

      burt & harry Piels might help also !!

      i concur that the robotic aspects will be necessitated...humans would have trouble even keeping up with the thought process speed required..let alone controlling them !! easier to relax and let the 'bot do the job...redundancy and reliability are essential...i'm further along on this than you might imagine...been working with an aero guy from nasa...plus the new materials are what allow flexibility in design...so they can' t be excluded to have efficiency

        Great! When you have your idea protected you must share! I play with with the desin feature quite a bit as well.

          ideas are difficult to protect...however manufacturing techniques are not !!!

            Touche! Areodynamics are my concern with true suspension for driving. The Computers are done. Making it stay in the air, very high aspect ratio and speed is my concern.

              by utilizing integrated systems through proper material selection...and simultaneously integrating aero and functional stabilizer control...a package that addresses both the safety issues and efficient propulsion can be had...without comprehensive design parameters that consider these elements...the feasibility is lessened to the extent it's a pipedream !! not that pipedreams are bad...but not at 10,000 feet and 350 mph !!!

                Look, I love Moller, way to much consumption (VTOL). A clean design will win- if it has lift and thinks for itself (fixedwing) currently the airports throughout the country alone are 800 deep. Opportunity
