JetScooter: Time to Fly?

Not yet. But if this concept vehicle is any indication of what’s to come, I’m willing to wait a little longer.

Designed by deviantArt user peanuts23, the JetScooter isn’t likely to be zooming around in a city near you – at least not anytime soon. We’re just hoping this bad boy becomes reality in our lifetime. Wishful thinking? Possibly… but a man can dream can’t he?

Actually, the idea isn’t too far-fetched. In fact, some experts agree that the technology required to practically engineer a flying-car, will become available in the next five years.

Still, other complications remain. How much would they cost? Would you need a pilot’s license to fly one? Who’s to blame in an accident? Would we even be driving/flying them, or would we be guided by ground-based control systems? How fuel-efficient would flying-scooters be? I have a feeling these don’t fit into the definition of “living green.”

Maybe more importantly, would they be capable of going “back to the future”?

Either way, throw in a matching helmet – along with Nashlly Estefania riding on the back – and we’ll be on our way!
