That's the Problem With TV: Flying Cars

04/25/23 • 41 min

Alex surprises Patrick with the long history of the flying car. Spoilers: they’ve been around a lot longer than people think. Though flying cars have been on every future-dreamer’s wishlist for decades, actually getting air-ready automobiles ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. This episode is all about absurd designs, Slovakian regulations, and DIY aerospace engineering.
