[Mil.com] The popular television show "The Jetsons" gave viewers an animated glimpse of a world where flying cars were so common, they were used as family vehicles. Now, the Air Force wants a fleet of its own airborne vehicles by the end of the decade, according to its top technology official."We want to have 30 vehicles in the Air Force by 2030,"said Dr. Will Roper, assistant secretary of the Air Force for acquisition, technology and logistics, told reporters during a video call Wednesday. "There are multiple companies that can do that."
Once the military proves the safety of these "flying cars" -- part of an initiative known as Agility Prime -- the domestic market stands to benefit as well, he said.
The Air Force kicked off the launch for Agility Prime via a virtual conference focused on the development of flying cars for both the Pentagon and everyday citizens.
