Flying Cars at Riverview Amusement Park

If you grew up in Chicago back in the day you certainly knew Riverview park and likely went there more than a couple of times. I know we did and it was the thrill of the summer. That place had everything to ride on, play at, and eat. I came across this picture of the flying cars ride which I do not remember mostly because I'd guess my parents would never have let us go on it.

Flyingcars

Looks rather dangerous, eh? Could an amusement park have something like this nowadays? Doubtful. The Digital Research Library of Illinois History Journal has a page with all kinds of Riverview photos, history and black and white videos of actual rides. Some have strange ads ahead of them but they are worth a look if you remember Riverview.

I especially remember the Roto which had you go into a circular room or cylinder which would begin to spin and when the centrifugal force was strong enough to flatten you against the wall, the floor would drop down so that you were hanging on the wall with no footing at all. My mom would not go on this, or more accurately, go into this, but my dad took me in there more than once. Lots of schreeking. But fun and memorable.

Spinningroom

That place was the grand daddy of all amusment parks which followed.

'Daddy, you were flying like a feather': What it's like to flip a truck at 190mph

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Every so often, Matt Crafton has a bad day at the office. But unlike you or me, where a bad day might involve coffee spilled in your lap or a phone dropped on the sidewalk, for Matt Crafton, a bad day involves getting upside down at 190 miles an hour.

Scene: Friday evening, Daytona International Speedway. The final lap of the Truck Series' NextEra Energy Resources 250. Matt Crafton, the two-time Truck Series champion, is leading the race, just three turns from shaking off nearly two decades' worth of frustration at Daytona.

And then … chaos.

A wreck behind him suddenly leaped forwar d and bit him, sending Crafton's race hopes, as well as his truck, up in smoke. The video of Crafton's truck spiraling into the sky, then landing back right-side-up, made the rounds of social media, and with good reason: this is a cinematic wreck, one where cars scatter like toys thrown by an angry toddler.

We wondered, what's it like to endure one of these wrecks, where everything in your world flips literally upside down? So we reached out to Crafton on Saturday morning and got the rundown. Think you're tough? Take a ride with Matt and see.

"It was the perfect storm to win the race," Crafton said. "I had my teammate Ben Rhodes behind me. But then Johnny Sauter came up beside me and I thought, 'Oh no.'" Crafton was driving and watching both the track in front of him and the cars behind him, and in his rear-view mirror he could see trouble developing.

Rhodes began fishtailing. "He got loose, and was going left, right, left," Crafton said. "I thought he wasn't going to get me, and then I felt the truck get really light." Rhodes knifed hard toward the infield, hit Crafton in the left rear bumper, and there, troubles really began.

"At that point, I was along for the ride," Crafton said. "I got spun completely around, and Johnny hit me head-on. All I could see was ground, ground, ground, sky, ground."

Bear in mind that this is happening at 190 miles per hour. "This might be hard for people to understand, but it really feels like slow-mo when it's happening," Crafton said. "I had some choice words while I was up there."

Crafton turned comp letely over and came down right on top of the rear of Sauter's truck. "He's beaten me enough," Crafton laughed. "It's about time he did something for me. He cushioned my fall." Crafton said the feel was more of "compression" than force, and Sauter's truck kept Crafton from getting hit even harder by any of the trailing trucks.

So Crafton was all right, but there was another matter: his family had been watching, and cameras were trained on his young daughter Elladee. "She had been getting so excited," Crafton said. "She wanted daddy to bring her home a trophy. The wreck ups et her pretty badly."

Elladee panicked, wanting to talk to her father. Crafton underwent a checkup in Daytona's infield care center, and immediately FaceTimed his daughter. By then, she'd calmed down, and offered up a succinct assessment of Crafton's adventure:

"Daddy, you were flying like a feather!" Elladee Crafton said, and indeed, he was.

Bottom line, though: Crafton was just fine, thanks to safety protections in the cars and a bit of luck. "It was a solid shot," he said, "a good punch by Daytona."

But will it keep him out of the car for any length of time? "Absolutely not," Crafton said. "I'm fine. I'm ready to go right now." Crafton can also joke about the incident, noting that he got his sponsors plenty of airtime.

"For me, this was just like having a bad day at the office," he said. "I've still got the Daytona monkey on my back. But the good far outweighs the bad in this sport for me."

New Toyota sports car built for driving enthusiasts

The world seems to get smaller and more connected with each passing year, but we're still missing a key piece of Jetsons technology: the flying car.

In fact, I used to wonder why there are no cars in the sky — flying cars sound like a wonderfully fun thing to test-drive for newspapers — until I got my pilot's license and bought my own little airplane. That's when I realized that flying cars will never, ever be possible.

It's not that it's technically difficult to make one. NASA engineers used slide rules to send people to the moon, so the know-how has been available for decades.

The problem comes when you realize the tradeoffs.

Any decent, safe, smooth-riding car will make a slow, heavy, thirsty pig of an airplane. And any nice-flying plane will make a delicate, noisy, bumpy, unsafe monstrosity of a car.

You could make a flying car, sure, but who would want it? It sounds like a lovely idea until the moment someone dings your aileron with a shopping cart in the Walmart parking lot.

Car companies face the same dilemma every time they design a sports car, something Toyota certainly dealt with when making its brilliant 86.

If you've never heard of the 86, you're not alone. It was called the Scion FR-S until last year, and even under the old name it never sold in huge numbers.

When the Scion brand closed up shop last year, the FR-S — easily Scion's best product, and perhaps one of the best cars Toyota's ever made — got a new numerical name and an awkward slot on the sales floor next to Camrys and Corollas.

People who love pure, purpose-built sports cars, though, already know all about this car. If they don't, they should.

With rear-wheel drive, sleek looks and a back seat that can comfortably hold two legless passengers, this is a car that doesn't mind making a few tradeoffs to achieve marvelous handling.

It's built not as a bloated Swiss Army knife that can do everything. Instead, it's a finely crafted paring knife that feels perfectly balanced in your hand to do just one job.

To get this level of purpose-built excellence, you'd normally have to turn somewhere expensive and probably German. To me, the 86 feels a lot like what Porsche would build if it decided to make a $26,000 sports car.

Toyota knew this kind of car would appeal to a relatively small core of enthusiasts, though, which is why they partnered with Subaru to split the costs of bringing it to market. Subaru's version, called the BR-Z, is equally optimized for smiles.

Get breaking news sent instantly to your inbox

And if you like this sort of car — something you'll know the moment you turn into your first corner — you'll be smiling all day long.

Its body is designed to be strong and light, with the engine placed close to the ground for better center of gravity. Its suspension is noticeably firmer than most sports cars, especially the new Mazda Miata with its squishier springs and added body roll for 2017, making the 86 feel like a more hard-edged, track-focused car out of the box.

And like the Miata, the 86 feels like it's going much faster than it really is. All the wonderful sounds and sensations make you imagine you're going 80 when you're really only going 50, something that makes it all the more fun in my book.

Best of all, it's not trying to be a flying car, everything to everyone.

Today's car market has a manic obsession with sportiness. There are sports sedans, sporty crossover vehicles and high-performance SUVs for the racetrack. But why? They're all trying to be something they're not, and they end up being lackluster in both roles.

You can still find true, honest-to-goodness sports cars that are designed for one job, though. They're hard to find, but they're out there.

This year, you might find them parked next to a Sienna minivan at your Toyota dealer.

Watch: If you like Dubai’s flying cars, you’ll love flying bikes

While Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) recently announced that it will be adding 200 driverless flying cars to the streets of Dubai by July, a Russian company has unveiled a flying bike.

Hoversurf, the Russian-based company unveiled their latest product called the Scorpio-3. It is a hovering machine that combines the features of a quadcopter drone with a bike.  It is a single-seat, electric-powered hoverbike that is intended to be an extreme sports instrument.

http://www.youtube.com/embed/odVFa_3lmiM?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent

The company Hoversurf says, Scorpio – 3 is the world's first electric hoverbike that's intended to be "an extreme sports instrument" for both "amateur and professional navigators", according to a report in The Verge.

The hoverbike's range and velocity are limited as it is said to run on custom-made software. Hoversurf says that the Scorpio-3's design was "inspired by heavy-duty sport-utility motorbike frames that basically surfs through the air by changing altitude and direction". More info

Hoversurf’s Scorpion-3: It’s A Flying Bike That Actually Works (Video)

If your flying motorcycle dreams haven't quite been satisfied by BMW's recent partnership with Lego, then hopefully the incredible feats of engineering being performed by Hoversurf might give you what you need. The idea of a flying bike, or really a flying "anything" for the everyday customer, is nothing new. We've seen flying cars, we've seen hundreds of flying motorcycle drawings, and we've even seen a couple of impressive flying motorcycles ideas almost take off. Now, we've got something interesting to share…something that makes us think that flying motorcycles could soon become a reality. Naturally, we're using "soon" as an elastic term, here.

Judge Dredd it is not, and it's a long way from Return Of The Jedi style bushwhacking too – but Russian firm Hoversurf are on to something. What you can see in the video below, is the Scorpion-3. It's an electrically powered, single-seat quadcopter that is capable of lifting a human off of the ground and sustaining (albeit for a short time) flight. It's essentially a drone, that can be controlled either onboard by a human pilot, or remotely by a remote control system.

We've seen other prototypes in action, but this one seems like the most advanced system so far. Hoversurf have plans to develop the idea further, and in the near future the idea could be transporting human traffic around our cities, or delivering cargo at the very least. As you can see below, the idea is quite simple: it involves two key ingredients from a motorcycle, the saddle and frame arrangement, and four propellers. It seems simple, but for these things to be able to steer, all four propellers have to continually adjust their rotations to compensate for a wide range of variables.

The steering system relies on the speed of the spinning blades, and the technology is almost identical to modern drone technologies. However, in the interests of safety, Hoversurf's Scorpion-3 limits the pilot's speed and altitude… For the time being, Hoversurf are viewing the extreme sports segment as their most promising market, but as soon as the technology evolves and the whole process is fine tunes, other applications will definitely present themselves.

If you want to see some more flying motorcycle-esque technology, take a look at the Flike – it's a similar rig but it's not quite as advanced as Hoversurf's Scorpion-3. Or failing that, a simple internet search will produce a plethora of results. No matter what result turns up or piques your interest, one thing's for sure: people are putting a lot of effort into producing a flying motorcycle…and in the next twenty years or so, it's likely to be a reality. But is there really a demand? If an affordable model became available, would you want one? Or do you prefer your motorcycles wheels firmly planted to the ground? With the occasional one up in the air, or course…

Categories: Motorcycles

I've done a bit of work here and there in the industry – I've even ridden a few bikes for actual money but what it comes down to is this: I ride bikes, build bikes and occasionally crash 'em too. I like what I like but that certainly doesn't make my opinion any more valid than yours…
