人类对飞行汽车的设想在飞机诞生后不久就产生了。1917年,飞行汽车之父、美国航空先驱格伦•柯蒂斯就向人们展示了他制作的飞行汽车。他的Autoplane装有三只翼展达12.2米的机翼,用汽车发动机驱动车尾的四叶片螺旋推动器。但Autoplane从未真正飞上天空,最多只能实现一些短距离的飞行式跳跃。
此后,不断有人预言飞行汽车的出现,包括福特汽车公司的创立者亨利•福特。他于1940年声称,会飞的汽车即将问世。这一预言到现在都没有实现,但并不影响人类对飞行汽车的憧憬。

Human vision of flying cars was born shortly after the birth of the aircraft. In 1917, Glenn Curtis, the father of the flying car and American aviation pioneer, showed people the flying cars he made. His Autoplane is equipped with three wings with a wingspan of 12.2 meters and a four-blade screw pusher that drives the rear of the car. But the Autoplane never really flew into the sky, and at best only a few short-range flying jumps.
Since then, there have been people who have predicted the emergence of flying cars, including Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company. He claimed in 1940 that the flying car was about to come out. This prophecy has not been realized until now, but it does not affect human beings' paralysis of flying cars.
