摘要

From the Jetsons to Blade Runner to James Bond to a multitude of other TV shows and films, popular culture has long been fascinated with the idea of flying cars. Now, the U.S. military is pursuing them - and it wants to take the public along with it. But can science fiction be turned into science fact? That's the aim of the U.S. Air Force's Agility Prime initiative. The service is racing to acquire "flying cars" - electric vertical take-off and landing, or eVTOL, platforms - that can carry troops and equipment in ways that offer advantages over today's military aircraft and vehicles. The systems are also referred to as "orbs," advanced air mobility or urban air mobility. "The vehicles that we're exploring ... [have] a lot of propellers that get you up" in the air, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Will Roper told reporters during Agility Prime Launch Week. "They're vertically oriented and then they transition over to being forward [oriented]. And there are multiple ideas and designs about how to do that."
