For millennia humanity has dreamed about the skies, but only for the past few centuries have we been able to explore the flight. Yes, we have planes casually crossing the oceans, we have reached the vast infinity of space, but we are still not at the point of where science fiction has been taking us.
Our roads are getting extremely overcrowded, so maybe the time has come for the cars to fly and hoverboards, passenger drones, iron man suits and spaceships to replace outdated ground transport?
Engineers strongly agree with this idea and work hard on bringing the skies closer to us, today we will be showing you the latest inventions in the world of personal and public air transportation, that will be reshaping the way we travel in the nearest future.

Make a video of the best gyrocopters pls
the 1st is the best ?
the 1st is the best ?
I would like to fly the BFR. But probably will let other people test it out. Dont really feel like blowing up just yet
Lilium is the best
I sometimes start day dreaming, when such videos start playing… I just watch at the data on the screen. The digits for no. 4 seem to be off
Are sure that all specifications on the screen are correct?
Yes the future is exciting
Getting stuck in massive city traffic is no fun and usually this is the situation, where people get a chance to think about the benefits of air travel. Today you’ll get a chance to see how modern aircraft manufacturers see the future of flying and explore the benefits and downsides of such inventions. Do you believe in the future of these machines?
