You work like a dog to stay afloat in today’s economy, don’t you? We all do right. And when we have to contend with horrible city traffic congestion resulting in long, tedious commutes, it just adds insult to injury. As we look at the barely-moving cars all around us and grit our teeth from the cacophonous blare of horns, we look up to the tiny bit of sky not obscured by corporate monoliths and smokestacks. We see the occasional executive helicopter whizzing by, the all important, suit-clad passengers clearly laughing at us from literally on high, eating fancy crackers covered in exotic stinky cheeses.

“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads …” Why has the 21st century disappointed us so much? No hoverboards, no holograms and worst of all, no flying cars to make our daily travel needs faster, safer and of course much cooler. We’ve all had to convince the child in us that such awesome flying vehicles are at worst impossible and at best impractical.

Well, in the conventional sense of car use age … that’s not really wrong. Flying vehicles of any sort are immediately more difficult to control due to that extra third dimension of movement. And, let’s be honest here — we’ve all seen how a lot of people drive. Do we really want that capachunio, SUV driving while texting soccer parentmomose same people piloting aircraft? Of course not!

Fortunately, the clever people at McFly.aero saw past that obvious flaw in the flying car concept pretty easily. How do people who don’t have drivers’ licenses get around? They use Uber of course! Just leave the driving to someone who knows how to do so safely and properly!

Yeah, necessity may be the mother of invention, but frustration is surely the father. The big flaw, cited since the turn of the century, in the flying car concept was unintentionally solved by some clever entrepreneurs who’d had one too many unpleasant taxi or bus rides.

McFly.aero takes the convenience and affordability of Uber, and marries it with our greatest vision of life in the future. Very soon, getting across town for that meeting won’t involve hailing a cab and hoping the route and traffic don’t make us late. Instead, we simply request a ride through an easy to use a mobile app, and take to the skies faster and more safely than those corporate helicopters we’ve long envied.

I must be pulling your leg right? A company partnering with Uber to provide flying taxis? It sounds amazing, but get c’mon, real! How does a car even fly?

To be honest, flying cars literally tiny airplanes. We’re all pretty used to the basic technology that makes them possible – drones. A flying car is really just a scaled-up version of the concept in a few ways. Like drones, they utilize swiveling propeller engines to gain lift and control propulsion, allowing fantastic maneuverability and precision take off and landing. Unlike the simplistic design of drones, however, these aeronautical marvels are powerful, containing up to eight propellers as powerful as high-end propeller plane engines. Runways are completely unnecessary thanks to the use of VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) allowing the craft to rise directly into the air and land directly into a space of sufficient area.

Helicopters already demonstrate, albeit less efficiently, how VTOL makes air travel in cramped city environments far more practical than it otherwise could be. Landing and launching vertically from rooftops and sectioned off areas of parking lots is already commonplace for helicopters in metropolitan areas. These flying cars can do the same, and need actually less space with which to do it.

Now, I know what you’re thinking,. “I believe in a near future where scaled up passenger drones exist in heavily populated areas. I don’t believe in a near future where normal people can afford this.” Well, okay: I don’t blame you there. Thankfully, while it is more expensive than your typical Uber ride in a ground vehicle, it’s not prohibitively expensive. While not yet set in stone, travel with McFly.aero may cost $8.00 or less. This sounds costly, but when you consider that a destination an hour’s drive away takes a mere ten minutes … $80.00 or more for a comfortable personal flight like this is crazy cheap.

So, what kind of payment does McFly accept for access to the future we’ve all been denied for so long? Well, this is actually slightly more complex to explain than how a car can fly,. oOonly slightly though.

We’re all familiar with the term “bitcoin”. Few of us fully understand what the heck they are, though. Bitcoins are in a family of digital currency called “blockchain currency”. These units are made of a series of increasingly interconnected and encrypted data blocks that depend on each other to verify as well as the source data. Long story short, blockchain currency can’t easily be stolen or defrauded. This basically guarantees any transactions using such currency are incredibly secure.

McFly.aero’s flying car service uses this blockchain technology in the form of tokens. They will be available in crypto exchanges and then used in the same mobile app that’s used to summon rides. These tokens are actually a unified settlement resource used across the board with McFly.aero — some tokens will be taken by the driver, others will cover the amenities such as refreshments, maintenance and so on. These also track the workload placed on a given aircraft, ensuring none of them are dangerously overworked – that’s right, we’ve doubled your guarantee of safety. Finally, we can all take to the skies with the same comfort enjoyed by corporate bigwigs, while enjoying lower prices for the service and a greater sense of financial security. Who’s laughing now?

Yeah, thanks to the VTOL-capable flying car designs provided by McFly.aero, where we’re going we finally don’t need roads. We can all say the 21st century is finally arriving. Now, who’s interested in designing holographic sharks to terrify pedestrians?
