Where's My Jetpack?

Where’s My… Flying Car?

If previous generations could’ve had one single piece of retrofuturistic technology, it’d probably be the flying car.  Luke and Sarah try to make those dreams a reality as we find that, for the first time this series, this engineering endeavour actually came before science fiction dreams. We’re joined by designers and engineers at the cutting edge of the industry: Aeromobil CEO Patrick Hessel, aviation expert Andrew Chadwick and Mark Moore, CEO of Whisper Aero and co-founder of Uber Elevate.

Will humans really colonise Mars one day? Will I ever ride my own hoverboard like Marty McFly? How long will it be until we can book holidays in space? Where's my jetpack? Back in the 1980s, TV and films promised us everything from jetpacks to flying cars and holidays in space - so what happened to those Space Age dreams? Every week, join space journalist and author, Sarah Cruddas and broadcaster Luke Moore for Where's My Jetpack? Each episode, we look into a different piece of retrofuturistic technology that never was, to find out if these brilliant inventions are still just science fiction or, by looking in the right places, may be just around the corner.New episodes released every Thursday.
