TOKYO (AP) — The decades-old dream of zipping around in the sky as simply as driving on highways may be becoming less illusory.

The decades-old dream of zipping around in the sky as simply as driving on highways may be becoming less illusory. Japan’s SkyDrive Inc., among the myriads of “flying car” projects around the world, has carried out a successful though modest test flight with one person aboard.

The Air Force is on the hunt for a Jetsons-style flying car, and service officials just got an eyeful of one of their very first prototypes. Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown, Jr., and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force JoAnne S. Bass were among the officials present for the first Agility Prime electric vertical takeoff and landing flight (eVTOL) flight demonstration at Camp Mabry on Aug. 20.

Airbus’ new eVTOL just took to the skies for the first time in public during a demonstration flight for a German politician. CityAirbus, as the electric aircraft is called, is part of Airbus’ vision for “flying taxi” aircraft and currently being developed by the manufacturer’s helicopter division. The remotely piloted aircraft first flew independently in December, according to Aviation Today, but the July 20 demonstration flight for Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder saw CityAirborne go airborne for the first time in front of public officials and the media, eVTOL.com reported.

Flight attendants were scrambling to accommodate seat-change requests. Travelers—stuffed shoulder to shoulder into two-seat rows—grumbled at one another from behind masks. An ominous announcement came over the in-flight PA system: “We apologize for the alarming amount of passengers on this flight.” Each of us was a potential vector of deadly disease.

Engineers in China have developed a fossil fuel-free jet propulsion prototype design that uses microwave air plasmas. If scientists can figure out a way to turn their design into a working engine, the technology could dramatically shrink the carbon footprint of the transportation industry.

After trying to fly the biggest plane in the world, Stratolaunch embarks on a new project called Talon-A. They’re developing a reusable rocket able to reach hypersonic speeds, Space News reports. The rocket will be used as part of commercial transportation, but the company would also reach a deal with the US government and especially the US Army. With hypersonic speeds, the rocket Talon-A could be particularly useful and effective in the context of solving offensive as defensive scenarios.
