NASA's X-57 "Maxwell" all-electric aircraft can be the pathfinder for next-generation aircraft.

The next-generation technology will turn the dream of a "one-hour world" possible also in physical form. The next-generation hypersonic VTOL systems can be more revolutionary than some SR-72 or some other systems alone. 

If we think about modern technology, that thing makes it possible to create an aircraft with the capacity for hypersonic flight, low-speed flight, and vertical take-off and landing. That thing is quite easy to solve. There is needed only three series of engines. 

Regular jet engines, ramjet- and scramjet engines can be used in stages. At first, the regular turbojet will accelerate the speed to Mach 1,5, where the ramjet can start. Then the ramjet will accelerate the aircraft to Mach 6-7, where the scramjet can begin its operation.  And the VTOL system can use blowers that make the aircraft operate silently above the city.

The systems developed for "flying cars" can use for larger-scale aviation systems development.

The blowers used in some experimental "flying cars" can have two engine series for flying, in that case, the system uses blowers for lift-off and low-speed flight. And then it can turn to use micro-jet engines. 

Blower-based low-noise systems are giving those "every man's" flying machines a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Those little systems' speed can easily increase by using two engine series to 600 kilometers per hour. The flying car will rise into the air by using the blower system and then turn to increase its speed by using miniature turbo jets.

The speed of blower-operating micro-aircraft will remain at about 200 kilometers per hour. But that kind of system can also equip with small jet engines used in cruise missiles. So, when the pilot wants to turn to a travel flight there is possible to change the engines. When the distance to the city area is high enough pilots can turn to use those turbo jets. 

If the regular aircraft has this kind of blower system, it can lift off by using blowers. The aircraft can also cruise above the city by using blowers. And then outside the city area, it can start its jet engines.

So, there are tested things like pulling propellers for creating the airflow that speed is fast enough that ramjet engines can start their operation. Those systems are basing fast-rotating cavitation propellers that make a vacuum or cavitation bubble behind the ramjet engine. And those propellers can pull the airflow so fast that hydrogen starts to burn in the ramjet engine. 

Another solution could be the plasma-jet engine. In those systems, the engine creates plasma by using an electric arc. And then magnets will drive that plasma behind the engine.

The main problem with SR-71 was that aircraft couldn't operate at low speeds. The problem would be solved by connecting the regular jet engines to the SR-71-style aircraft that can operate at incredible speeds. 

In air inlets of regular turbojets could be an iris that closes air flow to turbines when the aircraft's speed is too high. And if the aircraft would operate by using ramjet or scramjet systems the rapid air turbine could give electricity for the avionics of that aircraft.

How to make a car-VTOL-aircraft hybrid?

How to make a car-VTOL-aircraft hybrid?

1. Flying cars are awesome things

When we are thinking about the low-price flying machines, we have always forgotten that the system can have the module structures. That means that the wings and auxiliary jet motors can be removable.

This kind of vehicles are near the normal aircraft, and the idea is that those wings and other tools can pull by using the roller coaster. And then they can be connected to place, where they are flying.

2. The blowers, what blows to every side would turn the vehicle in the right position on the air. 

There have been tested the cars, which have blowers on the bottom, but the problem with those vehicles is a balance. If the thing turns to the wrong position. In those cases, the vehicle will be in a very dangerous situation, if there is no ability to turn them in the right position.

That causes the bad situation, and this problem has been tried to solve by installing blowers to each side of the vehicle, that would turn back in the right position. That propel-systems will make that vehicle extreme agile and increases the capacity of those vehicles.

3. What works with the scaled model, works also with full-scale models

The thing is that everything, what works with the scaled-models, operates also with full-scale models. This is an idea of engineering and the topic of this text is taken from the film, where is introduced the RC-model, which operates as well as the car and helicopter.

The full-scale model, where people can sit inside can be done by using the same introductions, what is used in this film, and the result could be really interesting. When we are thinking about the room, what this vehicle takes, we must understand that the modular solution, in this case, would make the thing fully operational.

4. The modular structure means, that the wings can be removable, and they can connect back when the user wants to fly.

That kind of vehicles is sometimes blamed because they are taking really big space. But in real life, the wings can be equipped with fast attachment. That thing means that the wings can pull in the roller-coaster when there is no need to use them, and then they can put on their position.

I sometimes have thought, that also things like ground-effect and normal wings can also install the aircraft, what is looking like cars. And those things might be used with the same bodies. if we want to think about the situations, where the vehicle would need very high speed, that could be solved by installing the jet engine on the roof, and that thing can also be removed.

The flying cars again

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Below this text is a link to the video, where is performed the car-shaped VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Land) aerial vehicle, what seems precisely similar to the automobile. The system is very easily created, under the car is installed the blowers and the system would have the vacuum system, which makes it possible to dive horizontally.

That kind of vehicles can drive on the motorway as the normal cars, but they can travel also by air, and those systems might also be delivered to the intelligence services and special forces. The thing in this kind of vehicles is that they can operate invisibly and there would be very much potential for that kind of devices, and they might also be suitable for the undercover missions.

When we are thinking about the purpose of those vehicles, they can be used that way, that they would just fly inside the VTOL-transporters like V-22 "Osprey", and that makes them very potential in reconnaissance and hit-and-run operations, where the agents would be taken off their missions. And this kind of systems is useful in the situation, where should be operated the way that nobody sees those devices. This kind of things has been behind some UFO-sightings because those devices have been in the test flight.

Have you ever thought about the sightings, that the people have seen box- or square-shaped UFO in the skies? In those cases, we must say, that maybe those sightings have been made about those flying cars, that are under developing in many car factories. Those flying cars are not the new idea and during history, many people have been tried to make or made own helicopters and aircraft. Sometimes those crafts are flying without permission, and this would be impossible to look about the information about those flights from official records, and that makes the rumors of the UFO partially true.
