NYT On Flying Cars

Posted by michael on from the flux-capacitor dept.

This week's NYT magazine has a lengthy piece on the holy grail of modern technology, the flying car. It's a very interesting history of the numerous inventors that have spent a lot of time working on their dreams - Moller, who's been mentioned on Slashdot several times, as well as several early pioneers who achieved Darwin awards. The time frame before you'll be able to buy a flying car is, as always, five years.

    Remember when NASA was telling us space shuttles were going to bridge us from the rockets of the Apollo program to the commercial space liners of 2001?

    It's one thing to turn a grade school teacher to hamburger, live, before the expectant eyes of millions of children, with "the most complex machine ever built by man". It's another to have those children themselves turned to hamburger.
