Flying Transportation Technology
Abstract To have pleasant road trips, avoid commuting, and spend less time on
journey to arrive at the desired destination much faster, a model of flying transportation technology has been proposed. The vision behind this technology is to design
an economical, safe, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. This
study seeks to present a 3D numerical simulation of external flow for a flying automobile with well-designed rectangular NACA 9618 wings. To enhance its airborne
capabilities, this car’s aerodynamic traits have been professionally measured and
adjusted, such that it utilizes minimal takeoff velocity. Besides, the vehicle will have
an integrated 3D k-omega turbulence model, which captures a fundamental flow
physics enhancing the performance during takeoff. This forms the theoretical basis
of the flying car. The numerical aspect comprises a limited-edition Reynoldsaveraged Navier–Stokes equation (RANS) comprehensible schemes. Generally, the
vehicle is designed with highly functional wings that allow divergent deployments
during takeoff to maximize its air performance. Because of the utilization of wind
during the flying process, the model has integrated wind turbines that enables wind
recodification to propel the car in the air. Considering the combination of technologies involved in the design of the flying car, it is one of the most sophisticated inventions that will not only facilitate safe transportation and save trillions of dollars
annually but also significantly help in saving the ecosystem.

Introduction
The construction of roads and other transportation infrastructure consumes 0.9% of
the earth surface. In addition, 1.77 million dollars is spent on constructing every
mile of the infrastructure. As a result, several forest covers are destroyed to pave the
