Skycars

Skycars are quad tilt-rotor ducted fan flying vehicles, convenient for being able to land nearly anywhere and fit into a garage. They are common around the Verge for rapid transport, when it is more convenient to go above the terrain than through it, or just to get above the congestion.

Martínez-Henry Songbird Skycyle

The Songbird is a typical skycyle – open-topped skycars with motorcycle-like saddle seats for passengers. Like many skycycles, the Songbird has only three ducts - the two counter-roating fans in the front duct and single fans for the side-rear ducts.

Martínez-Henry Ansera Commuter Skypod

Martínez-Henry's Ansera is a small, 1-person enclosed vehicle designed for commuting around the city where parking can be tight and the highways congested. How much better to just fly above it all, and even when you can't land on a roof that ground vehicles can't access you can still fit into fairly compact slots.
