US Air Force just demoed its first flying car, and it’s excessive

It’s no secret that the US Air Force wants flying cars. The branch of the US Military announced last year that it was starting to explore electric vertical take off and landing (eVTOL) craft, and earlier this year, said it wants 30 vehicles in service by 2030.
After its first demonstration last week, the Air Force has just got a little closer to this goal. It just so happens that the demo took place 112 years to the day after the Wright Brothers delivered their first military vehicle — the US Air Force seemed quite proud about that.
On Thursday last week, officials gathered in Austin, Texas to witness the first demonstration of a flying car, the 18 rotor Hexa made by Texas eVTOL startup, LIFT Aircraft.
