The 20th century problems of wheel cars

In this article I'll explain to you the problems with a wheel car. For over a century wheel cars have been out on the market and rolling on wheels on dirt, concrete, cement, and asphalt since the 1910's. There have been improvements on them but unfortunately they just roll on 4 round rubber tire wheels and that's a disadvantage because grounded roads wear out over time by cracks, potholes, weeds and plants, having the hot sun shining on the road or the road gets snowed on and watered on. So then the road fixers have to spend so much money fixing the grounded roads which in turn causes the wheel car drivers to have to drive on a different road which takes even longer to get somewhere. What makes fixing roads so steep expensive is the tools road fixer people need like jackhammer, shovel, helmets, orange vests, gloves, goggles, flattening out tool spreaders, the wheel truck with a mixer for the asphalt, spray paint, orange cones, road closed signs, bulldozers flatting out roads, it usually costs millions and billions of dollars just to make grounded roads look nice. That's not all then they also have to make new roads disturbing grounded animals and nature. Also they have to build and fix bridges, make and fix new tunnels and even clear roads just so the wheel car drivers can have a smooth ride inside their wheel cars. Also wheel cars are usually restricted to driving in 4 directions and on solid ground like roads. This in as a result causes traffic jams, wheel car accidents hindering rescue missions from ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, army trucks and even their sirens can't make cars move if they're confined. If you think that's bad enough most wheel cars require smelly gasoline or diesel and lubricating black oil straight from greedy oil companies. Wheel cars pollute by giving off that nasty carbon monoxide and dioxide gas which is bad for people to breath. Also in the summer of 2008 gas prices went over $4.00 per gallon which is enough to leave our wheel cars behind and switch over to wheel bikes, wheel skateboards, wheel shoes, and walk because they don't require us to stop at the fossil fuel gas stations and also cause us to take the city wheel bus, sure we get good exercise and save but it takes alot longer to get to places around our town or city and we face inconvenient weather issues like rain, snow, hot sun, freezing wind and dust storms. Also wheel cars require alot of maintenance like transmissions, suspensions, complex engines, flat tires, burned out car eyes and so on and the expensive insurance you have to pay if you wreck your wheel car also we tend to be more of a target for police men pulling us over for stupid mistakes we make with our wheel cars. Now you're wondering how we can solve this traffic jam, road fixing problem? Some of peoples answers are make hovercars that can low hover and fly like a helicopter and be compact enough to drive around town and fly in the sky without the need for wings and blades and that don't need to be at the winged airport just like in the science fiction movies, TV shows, video games and computer games. In my next article I'll explain the problems with winged airplanes and some flaws that is preventing a spinning bladed helicopter from being street legal.

The 6 way helicopter controls we have

The spinning bladed helicopters we have can go in all 6 directions. They can spin their 2 or 4 long blades real fast and it lifts them off the helipad straight up off the ground and into the sky and once they're clear above grounded trees and grounded buildings they can go in all 6 directions like up, down, left, right, forward, backward, air brake and even hover in midair. They can land straight down without rolling on the road runway. The winged airplanes we have can only go in 4 to 5 directions which means they need to be at the airport. They can go in 4 directions at the airport which means they can brake and backup. The winged planes roll very fast on the road runway like a fast wheel car in order for the air to bend over 2 wings to lift it off the ground and into the sky. Once in the air you lose the ability to air brake and backup but you also gain the up and down direction which totals 5 directions and then when you want to land you have to aim for the road runway so you glide and roll and then you have to air brake and bring it to the unloading areas. The puffed up hot air balloons only go up and down and they're literally gone with the wind in the sky in other words you can't steer them but the wind steers for you at random and you have to find a field to land at. Now out of all 3 20th century flying machines here's the prize for how well they're performed according to my viewpoint.
First place Spinning bladed helicopters: The reason is it can go in all 6 directions with vertical takeoff and landing air braking, backup and hovering still and land straight down.
Second place Gliding winged airplanes: The reason is it has to roll on the runway like a wheel car for a diagonal takeoff for forward flight excluding air brakes, backups, hovering still and has to fly down for a diagonal landing on the runway.
Third place puffed up hot air balloons: The reason is it needs alot of hot air from the propane tank and get it pumped up in an oval shape and has to rely on random air currents to steer it and you have to slowly let out air to land it.
Even though all 3 machines fly in the sky, they're not street legal meaning you can't drive it around town or in a city or at the highway or freeway because they stick way out, take too much room, and pose a poking or smacking hazard. So you have to wait for a wheel car ride most of the time. So hopefully we'll be able to go beyond helicopters.

I want to talk about street legal flying machines. This is my first blog.
