The Advent of Flying Cars

The flying car, which was confined to the imagination of human beings till now, has finally begun to transition from the realms of dreams to reality. The first attempt at building a flying car happened exactly a hundred years ago when the Curtis Autoplane was built in 1917. However, lack of technological capabilities considerably slowed down the attempt to build a fully functional and a commercially viable flying car in the past. The 21st century with its burgeoning technological advancements makes it possible now, more than ever before in the history of mankind to usher in the era of flying cars.
