15 MOST Amazing Flying Machines Ever Made

As a species, we’ve always been fascinated by flight. We’ve envied birds their wings and dreamt of careening through open skies. But, in true human fashion, envy and dreaming are never enough, so we’ve found ways to get ourselves up there, into the air, to fly like the birds do. And as technology advances, so does our ability to fly. What seemed like the stuff of only sci-fi yesterday is quickly becoming tomorrow’s reality. Strap-on jets, flying cars, hoverboards, personal helicopter packs – and much more. Let's begin today's video on the Top 15 most Amazing Flying Machines.

As a single engine private pilot, I will never fly in anything that can't glide and allows me to land without an engine.
I spent 100 hours training for emergency engine out landings. Landing is always the weak link in the flight chain and also was the most exciting for me.

The Space Station isn't FLYING it's actually floating in orbit beyond the pull of gravity. Saying its going 17, 000 miles an hour is because it's going the OPPOSITE direction of the rotation of Earth and not hindered by any kind of to slow it down. Which means any time it can accelerate it will only speed up. Since it's been there for 22 years is has a lot of adjustments which make it only go faster to the point it see's a sunrise every 90 minutes.

The copter pack used to be called the Solo Trek with a gasoline engine, NOT an electric motor. I guess it worked so well that the American government said no fruckin way

When is the world gonna give True Information that the first Airplane was Build in 1895 by a Indian named " Shivkar Bapuji Talpade " in Mumbai 8 years before Wright Brothers... Google it and give those Indians the Recognition they deserve... These Indians have given so much to the world till date but they Never Got Recognitions for anything...

In the near future, there's ain't 'alien' anymore bcuz I'm sure we will create an aircraft that looks like it.. Can already see how these company rushing to built something incredible. Before, just say a flying car is just an imagination but soon it can be realized, tbh, it'll really be interesting..

“Safety, ” rules everything around…
…everyone, until it doesn’t! “Airbags, ” are to flying-cars what parachutes have been to the commercial flight industry, a/the threat to dominate, & or dictate all aspects of flight via mandatory safety propaganda, & or mechanisms/tech! #SafetyPodsForEveryone
