– Someone with an air strip in their office?
– Someone who can afford the costs?
– For that someone fulfilling the above solutions, is a helicopter or a small private jet not a more durable solution?
So then when will flying cars come about and become popular. To understand this, one needs to understand technology diffusion curve and the hype curve.
