Flying Cars Dream

The dream of flying cars began as early as 1917 with the Curtiss autoplane, a rudimentary attempt that combined a car with airplane wings. Despite its limitations, this vision persisted through the decades, inspiring creations like Ford's Flyver and Waterman's aerobile. By the late 1920s, popular culture, exemplified by the film Metropolis, fueled imaginations about a future filled with airborne vehicles navigating urban landscapes.
