- Why Flying Cars Are Stupid And Will Never Happen...! Why Flying Cars are a Dangerous and Stupid Idea. Flying Cars, VTOL or otherwise, aren't ever going to catch on mainstream. Not only is getting a pilots license really hard, but do you really trust your average moron in a car, to now start flying too? Imagine all the horrendous acts an edge lord could do. They could easily cause several thousand to log out of life, just by aiming at populated centers.
This video is heavily inspired by Adam Something’s Video, but I wanted to build on some great ideas he brought up, as well as bring up some new ones and other concerns. They are an Infrastructure Nightmare
They need Runways, even if you share a runway per neighborhood, that’s a huge waste of space. Adam already talked about runways in his video, so I instead want to focus on the annoying comments I kept seeing on his video. VTOL AKA Vertical Take Off and Landing. 4 letters that will make any tech bro cream their pants.
However, VTOL is not as easy as you think. You’ll need special heat resistant driveways using the same material used on VTOL Small Carrier Decks.
Do you think every local business or city will shell out the cash needed to build these Heat Resistant VTOL Landing Pads? Yeah right. Unless they raise our Tax Dollars through the roof, they don’t have the incentive to make tons of VTOL Landing Pads.

It's a good idea on paper, depends on how tall they're gonna fly. I mean how many accidents are happening with just ground vehicles. Idk, as I said good idea on paper.

As a Car guy who is also an aviation buff I always tell people the following:
We already have flying cars.....
.....their called "Airplanes".
This is not the same thing!
I don't know how more people don't realize this
@@sanderhackerhd8369 You're right. Airplanes aren't flying cars. They're flying buses. Flying cars tend to be what we call "helicopters" with wheels.
And if you're from across the pond, that'd be an "Aeroplane".
And that "Aeroplane" would be made of "Aluminium"!
Allow me to break it down for you:
Let's assume flying production cars exist. They would probably be very expensive, and would require special training to operate one, and rules as to where you could fly, and designated zones for you to take-off and land. If only we had something right now to compare that to...
See main comment above.
My biggest concern, is definitely distracted driving...
*AND THE ATC COMMUNICATIONS NIGHTMARE* those poor guys at control tower will have to deal with.
Playing as ATC already makes me dizzy and now this. 😮
Flying cars. The unholy union of the worst aspects of general-aviation aircraft and cars. All of the baggage of owning an airplane with none of the benefits.
Only if you think of them as "flying cars" meant for people to get around in. If you think of them as "roadable aircraft" meant for sport pilots, they start to make more sense, as you can use pump gas with them and don't have to pay expensive hangar fees since you can just keep them in your garage and drive them to the airfield. They're also relatively cheap to maintain by _aircraft_ standards (definitely NOT by car standards, though).
A flying car in real life would be something that hovers above the ground. This video overly exaggerated what they would look like.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z it's hilarious that this problem is literally in the first 2 minutes of the video lmfao 😂😂
Imagine a Karen does a brake check on a 747 in the sky for no reason lol
then f ing crashes and dies in an effort to "find out"
😅😂😆🤣
Flying cars already exist... They are called planes and helicopters. This is available to us already. Yet people fail to pass the driving exam... How are they going to pass the pilot exam?
95% cant. The door for entry is very narrow
Considering how helicopters and planes aren't cheap and easy to access, I'd say it will be the same oh but just *much more* expensive.
A flying car in real life would be something that hovers above the ground. This video overly exaggerated what they would look like.
why though@@user-my4xu4gf1z whats the point
@@user-my4xu4gf1zthat’s just a car that floats? That doesn’t get rid of any of the problems of normal cars while adding more problems like falling out of the sky.
Honestly, I feel like flying cars will be nothing more than another toy for the rich. There is just no practicality to it. And that’s the best case scenario.
the rich people already have flying cars, they're called helicopters
the rich people have mega sized private jets
Everything new and innovative is used by the rich first. Later once the device becomes more polished and mass produced it becomes cheaper and more accessible to common folk
A bath tub with 4 drones attached to it is more practical.
the only bath that your mom has is her own sweat that creates a pool that she enjoys while she lies naked eating cheetos.
Omg lol I wanna see that now
I hope flying cars never become mainstream. I do NOT trust the average person with a flying car. Too many people are bad enough drivers on the ground.
Editing the comment removes the heart. Aw man...
bruh, i wouldnt even trust myself
Yup. They should treat flying cars as commercial airplanes for pilots. And its training course should be just as strict if not, stricter.
@@utatan887
*as general aviation aircraft. You don't have to go all the way to a full commercial license for something like this, a sport pilot's license would be sufficient.
In EU we already start to ban short route plane and incentivize hs train aka the best way to travel
Also, we already invented the solution to traffic. It's called trains. And that isn't even jokingly. Underground railways like the London Tube were built because of the amount of horses in cities clogging up the streets.
Trains are good if you live in a high trust society. I wouldn’t want to ride a train in Somalia… or New York for that matter.
@@solonyetski That's a law enforcement problem, not a train problem. We can have both if someone who isn't driven by corruption and greed is in power.
@mattevans4377 yeah but the world is trending towards anarcho-tyranny. Many previously civilized countries are becoming more insecure by the day, and governments are working hard to make things even worse. See, Sweden, USA, Italy, France, UK, etc...
@@mattevans4377 Which is a very long way to say "we can't have those." tbh...

I thought I was alone in my weird mix of loving cars and wanting walkable cities- glad to know I'm not 😂
Same bro😂
independency from cars makes the driving experience better
Maybe you should walk a treadmill, you might actually get rid of that beer gut.
@@FreeRobux712It would be nice when the walking can be easily integrated with part of travelling.
I think more "realistic" option would be Hover capable cars, they don't fly but maybe hover a few feet, like 1 to 3 feet, off the ground to avoid snow and other road obstacles/conditions, but you would still be in normal drive mode for the most part
Yeah, i hint at the very end, that I'll probably make a video on that instead. Though based on the views so far of this one, maybe not😂
I will probably still do the Self-Driving one though.
@@BladedAngel Good video honestly, too bad it didn't perform all too well, deffo gunna watch the self driving one for sure.
@@BladedAngelwhat do think of planetary 'space' ships?
It can be like the cars in the show "Hello Tomorrow"

2015: In the future we will have flying cars
2023: Let's talk about why flying cars aren't the future
As a licensed pilot who gets into armchair discussions on the Internet…
You are spot on bro.
I cannot fathom trying to explain the complexities of airspace types, weight and balance, radio procedures, and common weather hazards (like thunderstorms and high winds) to someone like a know-it-all Karen, or a teen-bro that couldn’t care less if his wing was rusted through. If you think driving is unforgiving, aviation is more so, and it’s honestly not for everyone.
In order to fly a flying car, you still have to be licensed.
@@jailbird1133 Licensed drivers crash cars way too effing often.

bruh this shit got dark
@MinecraftPro97k this is the first thing most people think of when it comes to flying cars, including me
I appreciate the Adam Something love from others in the car community. A lot of people might get turned off by his stance on cars, but I think we gotta recognize that there are issues with how cars affect our society. If we own up to those problems, we actually have a chance to fix them and make cars and driving better for everyone.
As a car enthusiast myself owning 2 cars, there's nothing worse than having to share the road with people that are barely intelligent enough to driver properly and safely for 99% of the time. Cars are good, for those that have the passion and the discipline to deal with the things revolving them. Not your average gray square SUV driver.
if you can get more people off the road, it would be better for both car guys and normal people
The aviation community is everything the car community could have been. Manufacturers make planes mostly for commuters that are mass transit, so people who don't want to learn to fly don't have to. They also make planes for enthusiasts. There are even companies specifically for this.
his other takes are still cringe
@@pentilex4338What strict licensing does to an industry
My main concern in the near future is self-driving cars and the effects that they will provoke, just having high ways full of cars with no one inside. That's gonna be wild.
Straight up need for speed traffic ai
It's gonna be wild when they all start falling out of the sky when a hacker drops a virus into the flight module
Not as wild as the effects that your moms weight has on the tectonic plates of the earth when she takes a step.

Imagine your parents waiting for you to stop living with them. 💀
@@FreeRobux712 what? what does that have to do with anything?
@@FreeRobux712Which will matter less when they wanted it anyway.
I remember re-watching Back to the Future 2 a few years after I got my drivers license. The first time I saw it, I thought flying cars would be a cool thing. Then after putting some miles under my belt, I realized people are too stupid to safely navigate in two dimensions, and it would be infinitely worse if a third dimension was added.
I've always thought of the Back to the Future 2 flying Delorean and other flying cars from that movie as only being able to hover, and past a certain distance, it becomes impractical to go higher, because of inefficiencies in the design
In the words of the laserpig "if you ever seen how New Yorkers drive you'll know why Flying cars are a bad idea"
The real life flying car to take to work is already here, it is called para motoring. My buddy actually flies to work and lands on the roof of our 2 story office building, it is pretty epic actually. Only works since we are far enough from an airport to be legal, though the cops did stop by to harrass him until they found out there were zero laws against it.
Just wondering, would you like everyone to have that? And as an av geek, lots of his points are very good, for some people it makes sense but for most people it's a horrible idea
@levibeauboeuf5931 definitely not, but it's also not for everyone. People won't even take motorcycles to commute with because they think they need 3 empty seats and a trunk with them so they can work in an office and bring home milk after despite them costing a fraction of a car (price, fuel, insurance, parking, etc) and being more efficient and greener. They won't do paramotoring lol.
Cool story bro, i believe you
Flying cars already exit. It's called a "plane"
not really, that would be a helicopter
privat Jet
@@ninjmaster5609 A heli is closer to a flying car than a jet
@halcyon4485 No, a jet can drive and fly like a "flying car"
@@Josh_0579 Taxing doesnt count as driving.
the whole flying car thing can be dismantled with just one arguement, really: price
like, no way they're gonna be accessible, or even profitable by any stretch of imagination
that's a good point, but it's not as good as your mom's weight. she should be more accessible on a scale though.
lmao
“mr bladed angel how do you plead plowing through the world trade center killing 551 people?” “drunk driving” “aight 3 months prison and your license is revoked have a good day.”
"Your honor, if you examine the dashboard voice recorder, you can clearly hear the Lynyrd Skynyrd single "Freebird" playing until the moment of impact. I move for dismissal."
Well... I wanted to become a pilot once, but to become one you need to spend somewhat between 2 500 to 30 000€, depending on what kind of license do you want.
I agree with the main point, but there are a lot of VTOL vehicles that don't use thrusters. There are electric options that use propellers.
ok
If we do ever get to this point, it would probably be like cyberpunk where only the extremely rich can have one with their trained pilots.
the only cyberpunk thing i see here is your mom turning off your gaming console and making you go on a diet.
If they want to solve the traffic problem, they should encourage more people, especially office workers, to work from home. This solution could encourage people who really want to travel to use public transport more since public transport would be less cramped when people travel less, and it is also good for employee's mental health
hearing about adam something in a bladed angel video feels like a fever dream
your mom's fat could create a world ending tsunami if she went into the ocean
Just gonna be that guy that points out the fall don't hurt, the sudden stop can be life changing.
Fun fact: Under strict aviation laws if you are flying underneath 10,000 feet there is a speed limit. That is 250knots.
Also if you're in an airspace they have permission to shoot you down
As a student pilot, I don't think that the average person would put up with stall recovery, it is uncomfortable, and to give you an idea of how uncomfortable it is, when my flight instructor demonstrated a stall to me for the first time, he thought that I was going to throw up and headed to the airport to land the airplane
I honestly don't think distracted driving would be much of a problem for flying cars - I mean, after all, there aren't any tight spaces where things can happen in an instant, you'll be able to see all your surroundings and there probably won't be much traffic. I can imagine daredevil idiots accidentally crashing into each other midair though
Dude, helicopters have crashed into each other, mid air, in open skies with no obstacles or other ships around.
Imagine a few hundred flying cars all going to a different destination over a 10km2 area, it would be a spectacle of meat, debris and explosions.
There are no lanes in the sky. People who would fly this themselves won’t have the agility to outmaneuver flying cars coming at them at full speed, from 360 degrees
Yay I paid my new flying car airbag subscription ! Wait why is there a check engine log-
or as carmighty once said:"IT'S LITERALLY A PLANE ON WHEELS"
funny how planes already have wheels
@@Suzumi-kun you know what else your mom has? a stomach that has its own orbit.
I myself am a student pilot, and one thing i think people don’t understand about this is that there is a SHIT TON of tests and qualifications you need to pass in order to be able to fly, and i guarantee that more than half of all drivers on the road today DO NOT meet those standards
Half? lol you're being way too generous
You mean Majority of them
@@uhm175"more than half"
And flying car crashes would be much deadlier than normal car crashes, because then there’s the impact with the ground.
The only impact here is the impact your ass leaves on chairs when you sit on them.
Compromise: Hover cars, that way we get the illusion of flying, while still locked to the ground. We can also make zero gravity formula racing by attaching jet engines to the machine to get them to run roughly 1000 kmh
Got vibes of Grip Combat Racing there for hovercars.
@@govinlock8568 Not what I had in mind. I was going more for F-Zero
@@flamingphoenix1425 I see. So the dev of Grip got inspiration from F Zero for the hover car.
Hover cars are fun until you need to brake… or stay in one lane. Try driving the hovercraft from The Crew 2 on the street as you would a normal car and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Hover cars seem even less likely to become a thing.
@solonyetski It is the same thing in Grip Combat Racing. The hovercars are less sensitive for rough surfaces but has less stopping power compared with the wheeled variant.
Love you man. Keep uploading.
The only reason I found this video because I searched up “I was promised flying cars” but because of this video, I’m kind of glad that we don’t have those yet.
I agree with the whole video but even if we did have flying vehicles I highly doubt they'd just run out of fuel and start falling down like a missile. I'm very sure that there'd be many alerts telling you to go down and find a place to land or the vehicle would automatically do that for you.
You'd be amazed how often fuel exhaustion, spins, and gear up landings occur despite how much emphasis is placed on them throughout and after training.
you underestimate the stupidity and willful ignorance of the average human
@@MalfosRanger So... planes with a fixed landing gear are a form of dummyproofing?
@@stryker1797the landing gear can still fail by: Wheels falling off, landing gear struts snapping, and wind ripping them off.
Bladed Angel, getting wisdom from Adam Something. This has got to be spicy.
Edit halfway in through the video, it IS a banger
I agree with all of these points. I've never seen how flying cars would be the "fUtUrE" due to mainly fuel consumption and taking off/landing.
Well, aside from having them be electric powered, as there are electric manned aircraft, albeit they aren't common because they don't have the range of a gas-powered jet or prop plane
A flying car in real life would be something that hovers above the ground. This video overly exaggerated what they would look like.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z flying and hovering are two different things. Sure hover cars are basically like road cars, but flying cars, with the ability to fly like a helicopter or a plane cause too many risks with the ones we already face with normal driving. How would you expect a drunk driver to fly with a flying car
@@smol_sinon if we have tech that far into the future it would have magnetic or somesort of force that avoids collisions. Who knows bro a real flying car won't happen for thousands of years. I always pictured a flying car as just a hovering one in my head
@@user-my4xu4gf1z that again would be a hover car, not a flying car, and I understand your point and where it's coming from. But even with the safest technology, holes are bound to be found which can make it unsafe. And we can prevent it from other cars using magnets like you said, but what about full commercial buildings?
Flying care are not futuristic, viable public transit ad actual city centers is futuristic. Cars and downtown areas do not mix. Cars should be heavily restricted in dense population centers. We need more trains/busses/trams/bike lanes in cities, and fewer cars. Also high speed trains have no traffic cuz everyone is in one capsule going the same speed in the same direction at the same time
For sure not going to replace public transport in the city center, but might make it better for getting from the suburb to city center if it could be used as some sort of car share system. Making very specific routes easier for people, in cooperation with other forms of transit. Even strong transit networks will have some shortcoming for specific routes
VTOL landing pads don't need to be special if it's for propeller vehicles. I agree with all your other points.
Heat treated VTOL pads may not be necessary, but I doubt people consider the cost of replacing nicked propeller blades compared to tires.
The article mentions a v22 osprey...which is a propeller vehicle. Yall know those make heat too right?
@@MalfosRangerand this. 😂
@@BladedAngel The Osprey has two giant exhaust pointing straight down, come on 😁
The Osprey, which is meticulously and expensively maintained by the military, is infamous for crashing horrifically. VTOL flying cars would be this on steroids
I have been saying this for about 5 years but much appreciated
It's unbelievable how many comments I still see people making about flying cars being the future.
I’m a student pilot right now, and if flying cars ever exist I’ll actually go insane
the only thing flying here is your gut after you eat an entire bakery.
Imagine all the noise a car can be loud but hundreds or thousands of helicopters starting and landing all the time would be horrible
maybe the noise will alert your mom to a new snack being eaten next door and she will try and crawl there.
As a military nerd, i promise you the military do more shortcuts to save money when producing the specific tool, but for some reason have unlimited spending. so whenever you hear surplus military grade equipment it means shítty equipment that will break soon
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this video. I already had doubts about the usefulness of flying cars and about how it could alleviate traffic congestion, but you have cemented my doubts.
"Your flying mode subscription has expired,please pay immediately"
the last thing u hear while flying near hospital
I once feared plane crashes, Yes it’s true that they are safer, but that is because they get into accidents way less, but when they do the impact is much worse than a car accident, that is the part that gets most people scared obviously.
Funny enough, i never heard anyone around me talk about a future with flying car, maybe linked to the fact they're not the kind of population that shoots at tornados ^^
France does have huge problems, but not that one. x)
ATC goes on strike for 5 minutes:
Literally every driver "guess I'll land on the roof of this house."
Nice vid, it would be nice if you talked about the japan motor show😊
Want flying cars? Fly a plane.
Also, the introduction trasitioning to the title is pure gold
Union Pacific, the railway company, tried using turbine-powered locomotives in the 50s'. All of them were retired by 1970 because of a lot of problems, but one of them was that the exhaust was so hot that they would literally melt the asphalt when they were idling below a bridge, through the concrete. So having one or multiple turbofans blowing straight down onto the road would "not be ideal"
And they also require either complex transmissions, or a second turbine, in order to go backwards
Yo love ur vids keep it up ❤❤
German here: Even if the Autobahn had no speed limits anywhere, you could not go fast everywhere, because it´s mostly that much traffic, you simply can´t go fast because of that! I did a ~250 mile drive today and even if there had been parts where I was able to go over 120mph, it did not made me arrive earlier. In regular traffic, you´ll sit in the next traffic jam and the slow af Opel Corsa you passed 10 mins ago will suddenly be right behind you. Nobody is talking about flying cars here, luckily. Germany is so dense populated, there would simply be no space for those things! The future of cars in germany probably will be a future a lot people wont like: Less cars! You can already see it coming, because everything about a car is super expensive, there is no space to park them in cities and a lot of people start to live without them again. The cars themself will probably get more luxerious and partly self-driving, because companys don´t even sell cheap cars anymore. So cars will become even more of a luxury status thing and/or a toy and the normal cars will disappear.
A fact a lot of people don't know (outside aviation) is that one of the hardest maneuvers to do in a helicopter is hovering in a single point without moving.
I doubt the average Joe who Text while driving would be able to do that, let alone handle another problem that involves flying, TURBULENCE!
Yo! I'm early! Let's go!! Love the vids man! ❤
Loving these
100 mi is more than I normally drive in one trip
As a German, you can't always go 150-160 mph on the Autobahn since there are also traffic jams and there and the speed is limited on a lot of the Autobahn because of construction sites, which you will find a lot of.

They will primarily be used as corporate-owned and operated "sky shuttles" that autonomously take people from here to there (maybe a few "theres") and back to here, over and over, autonomously. They won't be under human control, they won't be useful for spur-of-the-moment trips to any destination your heart desires, and they will not be for sale to consumers.
Honestly for VTOL part, assuming everyone won't using Jet engine, it's surprisingly not demanding since, you know, no heat. You can use thick grated steel on top of soft soil and you can land CH-46 on top of it. Honestly the problem with VTOL part is just.... either you wanna trust your hand or your computer all the time, assuming you're not 16 yo and just started learn to drive weeks ago, or 30 yo sober, or just your average who-cares driver.
Remember, all those ultra complicated rule and procedure in aviation is written by blood. If you don't care, congratulations you show yourself land on one of 3 category above, and please take public transportation.

Hello Bladed
a bit out of topic from the video but something got me thinking
I recently started playing Ace Combat series and your YT logo reeaaallly reminds me of ISAF's logo.
Did you by any chance inspired from it? Or was it a coincidence?
What if we make a specific frequency around buildings that stop the cars from functioning or they slow down when near a building. The cars always will look for the frequency so it’s hard coded.
6:01 “But it’s in the sky!!! No traffic!!”… Ironically, most midair collisions happen during clear daylight hours near airports.
I've always said this. Can you imagine adding verticality to driving? People can hardly drive in a straight line.
Hey man quick question, what happened to your personal horizon 3 video? I know it was some heavy stuff but it was nice to listen to because I have that same sort of condition you have
The Folland Gnat would make quite the nice road trip vehicle if the flaps were modified, but traffic would be exponentially worse with an extra axis of congestion and swerving.
Flying and cars are like BBQ sauce and ice-cream both good on their own but they shouldn't mix
You forgot about the noise of any vtol craft it is basically impossible to make quite because it has to desplace multiple tons of air just to hover
7:03 A NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER HAS TOUCHED THE BEACON!
My mom was always skeptical about flying cars, saying that if we got them we would have to be dealing with idiots in 3 dimensions not just the 2 we normally deal with, which is what your saying in you video, but I just think that was a cool line.
Side note: In a video on the subject, Knowledge Husk (formerly Knowledge Hub) pointed out that traditional, non-flying, cars are designed to create down force which uses aerodynamics to force the car to stay on the ground where it should be, while aircraft are designed to create lift which uses aerodynamics to lift the vehicle in the air. This being the case a flying car would have to be designed to do two opposing things at the same time, or at the very least change between the two, which is always a recipe for success./s
I used to love the idea of flying cars but now that I’m a pilot… there’s no chance 😂
your mom's fat could make the entire global economy collapse if she walked into a store and bought some snacks
The average driver cannot adequately control a car on a single dimension, let alone two. Can you image the mayhem if you added a third dimension? And what happens when an issue occurs? They would just plummet to the ground. It happens to qualified pilots all the time, even those who pilot passenger jets, and have tens of thousands of flying hours in their past.
i don't remember where i heard this but someone said we already have flying cars.........they're called planes
Imagine the Crash rate if we had flying cars so how do you expect people to fly a car when people can't even drive ON THE NORMAL ROAD
Imagine how ugly the skies would look from the ground if everyone was driving around in VTOL/flying cars
Yeah that's gonna be a total optical distortion, it's atrocious
Imagine you forget to check the fuel one day and your car just do a Looney toons ah drop out of nowhere
People can't even drive on land, what makes them think they'll drive better in the air?
Cool. Everyone will take to the skies and leave the 'ground roads' (that'll be the future term) just for me!!!! And then driving will be super fun!

It's a paradox of freedom. People would rather be fettered by ownership and insurance in order to suffer collisions and sitting in rush hour traffic
I have enough things to worry about in life, I don’t want to add the worry of “a car literally falling through my roof” because some jackass decided to fly drunk.
You made a lot of good points in this video, but I have a couple of minor critiques. I like what you said about VTOLs needing a heat resistant place to land, but another thing to consider is that there could be electric VTOLs that do not have this issue. Another point is about bad drivers, the only problem with this point is that you would legally need a pilots license to fly a flying car.
Instead of VTOL, hear me out... 15 lane super runaway
TRUST ME
JUST ONE MORE RUNAWAY
