News: A new vehicle ------- Sky Car in The Future

New York The engineers from the US space agency said a new vehicle known as “skycar” would be designed to carry people along skyways.

The skycar is a car which can move quickly in the sky. The efforts to build flying vehicles before have not been very successful. They are costly; take up much space, require drivers to learn and understand the skills of flying like a trained pilot. Anyone who is short of money can’t afford it. This makes the researchers remember that they should develop technology for a new generation skycar. All the problems are likely to be solved. And it will appear in the market in less than 25 years.
