Flying vehicles.In Texas, we like to stay fly, so flying vehicles are an obvious step for us. Let's get some air!There are a whole host of emerging technologies which would make flying a reality, some of which should come first before we make that adventure. Medical technology and research centered around high velocity accidents would be a benefit and would put investors and pilots at ease. There have been leaps and bounds in the medical field such as organ synthesis, transplants and genome tech as well as far out research being carried out digitizing DNA info. Regeneration and reanimation tech will only become more and more in demand as locomotion gets faster and faster. Losses of family members in accidents is a leading cause of psychological and social trauma. Safety tech such as lightweight, high strength materials are also making great progress and need to go into production. Flight vehicles will need a supercomputer-regulated air traffic control system and be equipped with fail safe sensors, paying special attention to hackers. With laser drilling tech, burying power lines will be much easier and we can stop looking like we live in a faleva, as well as have less obstructions in the air. A quick side note in support of Texit...I and others have distinctly felt the depression when we look out upon our cities draped in sagging power lines, which didn't used to look that bad when we were up to pace, but as time has wandered, what used to be ok 20 years ago is now becoming atrocious, so much so that it can become a safety issue while driving, much less flying...just by that thought now forcibly wandering into mind alone. That type of phenomenon is to be avoided at all cost and is a major focus behind Texit.pro’s more professional methodology because it can cause fatal situations.Two major up and coming technologies should be focused on: solid lubricants and browns gas. Solid lubricants are a plating which generates an electrostatic field that prevents parts from touching. Turbines using this technology operate about 10x faster so engines can be reduced in size drastically, giving 4 relatively small engines on a flying vehicle about the same amount of thrust as a commercial jet. Brown's gas is created by fracking water (basically rocket fuel) and is a very dense form of fuel which can also be used in space and it is also created on demand, so if a flier crashes, its mainly just a bunch of water instead of explosives. It would be wise of us to have such infrastructure already in place for when we go beast mode into the vacuum of the stars. Furthermore, safety risks due to explosives will be an easy maneuver in court to direct the economy to that sort of fuel system, which will be needed anyway because such craft will require large amounts of fuel regularly...normal folk just can't afford $1000's of dollars of fuel every week. We're not here to play class wars or popularity contests around systems which force us to pay for fuel, I'm not saying that fuel is not a bad idea because you don't want to go too far the other way and eliminate competitive markets and the commerce around fuel stations, but it should not be used to oppress at the expense of nature and truer progress. Flying vehicles are overdue, yet technology for them has been around for decades and much of it has been buried. There are aerodynamic lift technologies with enough potential to make very large airborne vessels able to stay aloft for extended periods at relatively slow speeds...motherships, basically. A few of these techs are the Carr Internal Wing, the Custer Channel Wing, the Stark Wing and the Dalus rotor, amongst others (www.rexresearch.com). Saltwater is a fuel source which comes ready with its own electrolyte, so motherships could stay aloft indefinitely along the coasts or in the middle of the ocean and create a whole new type of frontier. That may be way out in the future, but the possibilities are there, with much to be improved upon, of course.
