The Next Possible Future Car
INTRODUCTION
Traffic jams are the bane of any commuter. Many of us spend an hour or so stuck in traffic every week. The growing population is partly to blame for our congested roads, but the main problem is that we are not expanding our transportation systems fast enough to meet ever increasing demands. One solution is to create a new type of transportation that doesn't rely on roads, which could one day make traffic jams a 20th century relic. To do this, we must look to the sky and water.
WHY WE NEED A FLYING AMPHIBIOUS CAR 1. CARS Although a little is needed to talk about the turbo engine cars. Even layman has knowledge about the car market, their development, history and evolving technology. People are having car craze nowadays. Car luxary, mileage, safety and costs are always hot topics. But still it has got limited field of use
DISADVANTAGES * We cant travel faster than a speed limit * It gets busted in traffic jam 2. FLYING CARS: Twenty years ago, the former engineering professor from the University of California at Davis created Moller International to make flying cars. Moller's latest design, the Skycar M400, is designed to take off and land vertically, like a Harrier Jet, in small spaces. It can reach speeds of 400 mph (644 kph), but will cruise at around 350 mph (563 kph), and it has a range of 900 miles (1449 km). Gasoline, diesel, alcohol, kerosene and propane can be used to fuel the Skycar, and its fuel mileage will be comparable to that of a medium-sized car, getting 20 miles (32.2 km) to the gallon. The initial cost of a Skycar will be about $1 million, but once it begins to be mass produced that price could come down to as low as $60,000.
The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight rotary engines that are housed inside four metal housings, called nacelles, on the side of the vehicle. There are two engines in each nacelle so that if one of the engines in one of the nacelle fails, the other engine can sustain
