Why flying cars will soon be in the air

Flying cars were first seen in the 1980s but only in the film Blade Runner. They’re coming closer to reality though. In spring 2018, the plane makers Airbus unveiled their concept flying car. It’s a giant drone, big enough to carry passengers. And there was another big buzz around flying cars recently at a World Technology Conference in Portugal. Melanie Abbott was there and she spoke to people from Airbus and two other companies that are developing this flying car technology. Image: Volocopter.
