      It would be really cool if there was, I hope we can. At the moment the technology is nowhere near close, we can barely make a plane hover.

      Maybe but I think it’s a long way off, I’d definitely like to have a go on one if it were ever invented.

      Have you seen this before?

      There was an inventor from decades ago who wanted people to be able to drive to the airport, clip on wings, and fly to the next airport. This picture was taken in 1947.

      OK its not quite a hover car, but its not far off either!

      The idea didn’t catch on because of various safety issues.
