Boeing Electric Freighter
Production Company: Boeing
Feature: Unmanned Cargo Vehicle
EST. Cost of Production: $306.6 million*
The Boeing Electric Freighter is an unmanned transport vehicle powered entirely by electricity. The Freighter was originally controlled via remote control, but modifications enabled it to be transformed into an autonomous flier. The initial flying tests took place in 2017, and the project is continuing in the works. Boeing converted the unmanned aerial vehicle cargo carrier into a plane with twelve propellers and six dual-rotor systems. In May 2019, it had its maiden outdoor flight test. Boeing struck a roadblock in the construction of the Electric Freighter by the end of 2020, as it suffered financial losses as a result of the 737 MAX groundings. The aircraft company is currently working to get things back on track.

AeroMobil 4.0
Production Company: Aeromobil s.r.o.
Feature: Flying Car with a Subaru Engine
EST. Cost of Production: $1.3-$1.6 million*
The Aeromobil has already been addressed, and the 4.0 is the most recent concept in the series. The first Aeromobil concept car was developed in the 1990s, and the ideas advanced until the fourth stage, which was developed in 2017. Of course, the Aeromobil 4.0 is a flying car. The flying automobile will be powered by hybrid technology, with an engine based on a Subaru boxer (300 horsepower from gasoline or 110 horsepower from electric). The 4.0 is currently under construction, and progress has been delayed since a serious accident in 2015. Fortunately, the pilot sustained relatively minor injuries.
