Flying Cars: 2011 Brings Hope Back to the Future

No more car door dings, no more worry about opening the doors into another car, or worrying about parking lots that are too tight for your SUV, light truck (very light truck in the future) or hybrid car.

Carbon Nanotube Doors for Cars and SUVs in Our Future – Automotive Think Tank Stuff

The;Jetsons predicted flying cars by 2062, while;Back to the Future promised them by 2015.; Four years from the predicted date of flying cars and a flying car is introduced to the public.

The basic look of the “flying car” is truly a mix between an aircraft and a car; therefore the vehicle is being considered the “transition”.

The Future Of High-Tech Vehicles And Automobiles

The tiny car, coupled with the small but potent engine options is already experiencing an impressive demand. If sales will confirm, a convertible (cabriolet in Audi terms) version of the city car will also be making an appearance.

It will be marketed only as an electric car, and will definitely target BMW’s future Megacity EV, in terms of premium compact electric models.

Enough about city cars though, as Audi’s plans also contain details about performance sports cars.

The Audi e-tron concept we saw in Geneva will also make its way onto production as a limited series electric sports car. If not, Audi is bound to find another way of recuperating the cost of the technology.

So, more and varied city cars, a new entry-level sports car plus electric performance models.

Audi’s Plans For the Future – New Models, Small and Electric Cars

First of all, let’s get rid of the old cliche about us driving flying cars someday in the future. The real reason why flying cars will never happen is simple: it’s safety. So as of right now, the future of high-tech cars and automobiles is likely to be right here on the ground where they are now.

Goal of Increased Safety

Effect of Deregulation of the Electric Utility Industry on Design

One thing affecting the design of these vehicles is the outflow from the deregulation of the electric utility industry.

Ergonomics in Design

Smaller, Maintenance-Free, Increased Capacity – Really?

For electric utility fleets, manufacturers continuously develop “safer and smarter” truck designs.

Bucket Truck Design: What Is in the Future?

A hybrid-electric vehicle, or HEV, combines an electrical energy storage system with an occupied means of generating electrical energy, usually through the consumption of some type of fuel. Having the hybrid-electric car evolved from the electric car. Electric vehicles are more energy efficient than the contemporary vehicles wherein the electric vehicles operates at approximately 46 percent of effectiveness, while a contemporary vehicle operates at about 18 percent only.There are studies that generally concludes that electric cars with batteries are approximately 10 to 30 percent more efficient with energy than the usual gasoline cars, depending on the exact assumptions of the vehicles energy usage and energy chain efficiency.Certainly, the comparisons of the electric vehicles and the conventional vehicles are comparisons between an extremely developed power system that is nearly in the end of its research and development, and the innovative power system in the beginning stages of the development wherein important development can be expected as the new technology evolves.Furthermore, the advantages of electric powered modes of transportation extends beyond the true outlook of economizing energy. Electric generation plants can use substitute fuels that are not adaptable to portable power systems.Electric vehicles are the definitive alternative fuel vehicles because their power is taken from the source fuels utilized to produce electricity.
