Flying cars dream closer to reality: Japanese car flies with human inside

There are plenty of flying car projects that are in motion around the world but it still seems like a distant dream for human civilization. However, we might be a step closer to actually execute the dream. A Japanese company has finally built a car that not only managed to take off but did so with a human sitting inside.

Japan’s SkyDrive Inc. has carried out a successful though modest test flight with a person sitting in the cabin of the car.

In a video, a contraption that looked like a slick motorcycle with propellers lifted several feet (1-2 meters) off the ground, and hovered in a netted area for four minutes.
