Yesterday I published an article about the brief history of attempts at flying cars. I will try to write about the pros and cons of flying cars in real life. But you should definitely read my previous article. Link is given below.

Pros of Flying Cars

1) Time Saving

Life has become so fast and it looks like everyone has time deficiency and they are unable to manage their time efficiently. And nowadays, we have seen a huge influx of vehicles as almost everyone owns a vehicle or motorcycle and we see a long queue of cars waiting on the road as traffic has increased. Even the roads have become short these days and governments are trying to overcome this issue by building new roads but it does not look like it would be solved soon.

That's why flying cars would be a huge blessing these days. It would definitely save a lot of time as it won't face any traffic issues and also the aerial distance is a lot shorter than covering a distance by road. Flying cars would definitely cover the distance a lot faster because there would be no traffic in their route.

2) Energy Efficiency

Flying cars are more energy-efficient as compared to helicopters. A BMW car engine was used in Aircar developed by the Slovakian company named Klein Vision. So it would be run by less fuel as compared to helicopters. And it is run by a car engine so it won't be difficult to use an electric car engine in the future. Thats why it is very good for the environment and it looks like flying cars can be a perfect replacement for helicopters.

Also normally cars take a long time to cover long distances but flying cars would be able to do it fastly which will reduce the fuel consumption in the comparison of normal cars.

3) No need for building separate infrastructure

We build roads for cars, lay railway tracks for trains, dug tunnels for metros but we don't need to build new infrastructure for flying cars, and the same infrastructure that already existed can be used for it.

4) Flying cars can be used for emergency purposes

It can be used for emergency services like ambulances, fire engines, or for police. Normally it takes a lot of time for ambulances to cover distance but it can be reduced by using flying cars.

Cons of Flying Cars

1) Bad weather issues

Flying Cars can not have a flight in bad weather. Normally, airplanes are big so they can bear the heavy wind and bad weather but it would be impossible for tiny cars to bear it. So it would be impossible for a flying car to have any flight in bad weather.

2) Accidents chances

Accidents would start to happen when many people would start to buy flying cars. Normally, when our car gets broken we can park it to check the issue but it won't be possible for flying cars.

3) Noise Pollution

We can't even bear the noise of a small drone so imagine how noisy would be a flying car. It's too noisy and it won't be feasible to fly it in urban areas. New innovation would be needed to overcome the issue of noise.

Closing Thoughts

We have seen the evolution of flying cars. You can tell the difference between the first flying car and the latest aircar. But a lot of new innovations would be needed to make flying cars the new normal. I mean it would be amazing to see cars flying in the air and making our life easier and facilitating it.
