IT’S NOT A FLYING CAR, but I would sort of like a Jedi Hover Bike. “The vehicle itself uses ducted fans instead of exposed rotors. That prevents dust and debris from flying up, which is an important concern at low altitudes in the desert. In unmanned versions of the vehicle, it also allows ground crews to literally grab hold of it if something goes wrong. While the most recent prototype ran with a rotary engine and offered 20 minutes of flight, DeRoche said the design is ‘engine agnostic.’ Ideally, he’d wants a low-emissions powerplant that could run for an hour and a half.”
