Elon Musk has unveiled Tesla’s revolutionary new Roadster, reportedly demonstrating a prototype capable of briefly flying and performing aerial flips using SpaceX-derived rocket thrusters. The electric sports car is also said to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under one second, with commercial production reportedly planned for 2028.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is advancing America’s flying-car ambitions through a federal aviation initiative supporting electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs). Eight pilot projects were selected in March 2026, covering passenger transportation, emergency services and cargo delivery.
Together, these separate initiatives signal America’s ambition to turn flying vehicles from science fiction into commercial reality.
Personal Remarks
Meanwhile, as America develops flying cars, the European Commission is busy reinventing the plastic bottle cap. Introducing Bottle Cap 2.0 — apparently one of the EU’s greatest technological achievements.
While America reaches for the skies, Brussels celebrates a cap that stays attached to the bottle. European innovation at its finest.
