What rush hour? This bloke's building a CAR that FLIES. Next stop: soaring over traffic jams. The inventor? A cross between a rocket scientist and someone who's clearly had one too many espressos. Things are about to get airborne... literally.

Flying motorbike? Because two wheels of terror weren't enough! This "superbike for the skies" claims to be lighter than my last questionable takeaway. Jet-powered Stormtrooper shenanigans – what could possibly go wrong?

London startup AltoVolo promises a 1,600-hp flying three-seater that's quieter than your mother-in-law's whisper and can travel further than your last disastrous road trip. Intrigued? Sure. Skeptical? You bet!

Joby's S4 did the impossible! First piloted eVTOL to morph from helicopter takeoff to airplane flight using tilting rotors! Dubai, get ready for electric air taxis!

Whisper Aero? More like "Barely Audible" Aero! These clever clogs went from building a leaf blower that whispers to foliage to sticking their silent tech in a glider. Next up: a 100-seat electric jet that won't wake the neighbors. Finally, peace in the skies!

Forget yellow cabs! Soon, New Yorkers will be hailing electric whirlybirds. Imagine skipping the gridlock and arriving at JFK quicker than you can say "congestion charge." Just hope the pilot's had his Weetabix.

Austrians strapped six spinning barrels to a thing and called it an aircraft. It flew! Looked like a tipsy washing machine taking off. Top speed? About as fast as my Zimmer frame on a downhill slope. But at least it's different!

Fancy a $330k pilotless joyride? China says "hang on!" EHang's electric sky-pods are cleared for takeoff. Just try not to think about the error messages at 1,000 feet. What could possibly go wrong?

Jetson's ONE: a flying lawnmower for the rich and brave. Or, maybe, the rich and slightly insane. Twenty minutes of flight time? That's enough to get to the hospital if something goes wrong. And trust me, it might.

Hydrogen earrings? Yeah, this plane’s got ‘em. Six tanks, electric jet turbines, and enough power to make your hair do a jig at 26,000 feet. Plus, it’s quieter than your mother-in-law’s whisper.

Electra EL9 might be a plane that takes off slower than my morning coffee, but it's got $9 billion in pre-orders! Turns out, slow and quiet is the new fast and loud.

Traffic got you down? Joby's flying taxis will whisk you to the airport in minutes! Forget road rage, say hello to sky-high speeds. Prepare for a commute that's more 'whoosh' than 'ugh'!

Giant blimp lands anywhere! Cargo? People? No problem! This hovercraft-airship is changing the game, maybe.

Utah's buzzing! Electric planes are here! BETA's ALIA eCTOL is zipping around, cutting travel times and traffic woes. Imagine flying without the noise, and saving the planet while you're at it. Get ready for sky-high adventures!

Flying boat? Electric plane? Hydrofoil hybrid? Whatever it is, Regent's Viceroy just flew with passengers! 180 mph, 180 miles, and zero fumes. Who needs roads when you can glide on water?

Giant electric blimp? 32 motors? Me thinks it's bonkers, but hey, maybe it'll fly. Or maybe it'll just be a really big, expensive balloon. Either way, it's going to be a spectacle!

Flying cars! Remember the Jetsons? Well, Alef Aeronautics says the future is now. They've unveiled their Model A, a flying car that hops over other cars before taking flight. Is it real or CGI? I'm skeptical. 3,300 pre-orders? People are brave. Or maybe just rich.

Seaplanes are back, baby! And they're electric! This ain't your granddaddy's flying boat. The Polaris, a hybrid-electric amphibian, is set to revolutionize island hopping. With 85% better fuel efficiency and a quiet takeoff, it's like a Tesla that can land on water. Get ready to make a splash!

Flying cars! Remember those things we used to dream about? Well, SkyDrive's actually built one. They've got the certifications, the photos, and they're even planning demo flights at the World Expo 2025. It's electric, it's sleek, and it might just be the future of transportation.

Pipistrel's Nuuva V300: a flying truck. This hybrid-electric VTOL drone can carry 600 lbs of cargo 345 miles. Imagine a world where deliveries are made by flying drones. But let's not get carried away. There's still a long way to go.
