Apparently, there is a movement afoot to unleash a whole new mode of travel, one which avoids the hassles of gridlocked streets and cramped airline flights. Just today, Yahoo News shared a story from Bloomberg about some crafty entrepreneurs who have been working on actual prototypes of flying cars that owe their feasibility to electric engines! And we might see the results of their labors within the next 5 to 10 years!
For someone like myself, who was a pioneer in the study of electricity, this is yet one more exciting milestone in technology. Who ever could have imagined that this all came about through the simple experiment of flying a kite in a thunderstorm!
And, as one of America's first inventors, I heartily applaud the ingenuity of Larry Page of Zee.Aero, predecessors like Paul Moller and Alexander Weygers, and other entrepreneurs such as JoeBen Bevirt, Ilan Kroo, Paul Sciarra, Sebastian Thrun, Mark Moore, Emerick Oshiro, and David Estrada, who are all helping to launch us into a new chapter in aviation history!
Your humble servant,
