FUTURE TRAVEL VEHICLES: Flying Cars, Supersonic Planes, e-Bikes & Much More (Top Inventions for the 2020's Book 1) Kindle Edition
Megatrends
The top megatrends are eVTOLs – flying cars and taxis – which are expected to grow into a $1.5 Trillion global market by 2040. Supersonic commercial plane travel, that NASA together with Virgin’s Richard Branson are developing, will cut global travel times down to a few hours. Electric cars and e-vehicles, including planes, are the biggest component of the future of travel. And particularly in Asia, the accelerating growth of electric bikes and electric trikes for city commuting is huge. By 2040, 600 million will be in use globally. We focus on the latest developments in all of these important megatrends.
Among the Major Areas That We Showcase:
Electric Cars. New models are rolling out with acceleration every year. Battery range is being greatly extended and vehicle costs are coming down to the combustion engine level.
Flying Cars & eVTOLs. Electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles & flying cars are a huge avenue of transportation growth. We showcase many new eVTOLs such as the Ehang 216 and Flying Porsches. The USAF wants 30 flying car models for the military and consumers by 2030.
Hydrogen, Solar Powered and Alternative Vehicles. Some of the vehicles highlighted:
• Squad City Solar Cars
• Hyundai’s M Vision
• Remotely controlled, shared electric scooters
• Tesla’s Roadster Sports Car with rocket thrusters
• Jet Pack Aviation’s SPEEDER flying motorcycle
• The Z-Triton combo electric boat, bike and house
• Airbus’ Flying Computer Helicopter
• MOBi One flying vehicle that’s part helicopter and part plane
• Tesla’s Cybertruck with a lot of SpaceX input
• NASA’s fully electric plane
• Folding, origami canoe in a suitcase
Next Generation Technology
We also examine the next-G technology making the new travel vehicles possible like solar driveways to charge electric cars, mobile autonomous recharging stations, 3D printed electric cars and satellite guided autonomous cars.
The future of travel promises to be exciting, fun, autonomous, electric and moving towards emissions free travel.
