Ask a 100 people about an image the future triggers in their mind and you can bet on it flying cars will end up in the top 10. It is one of the ever-recurring ‘visions’ uttered in response to our age-old challenge of getting from A to B. To some it is also the perfect example of a future that never happened, which leads still others to think it might/will never happen.

Whether Moller’s Skycar, Terrafugia’s Transition (designed by MIT students), LaBicheAerospace’s FSC-1, Alfa Romeo Spix (designed by Creatix), also in today’s world the drive-fly idea sticks around.

For more eyecandy and fascinating transportation concepts, note that the library of the University of California Berkeley runs a fascinating online exhibition giving an inspiring overview of what they call transport futuristics.
