Growing up in the 1950s, the idea of a future without flying cars seemed unthinkable. It was certain we’d see them in our lifetimes. Back then, images of flying cars leaped off the pages of pulp fiction, igniting dreams of airborne highways cluttered with assorted crafts, zipping along on raised avenues. Over the years, countless prototypes have emerged, yet most relied on fixed-wing designs that failed to revolutionize transportation.

Enter the Skyrider X1. At last, the concept of flying cars has become a reality. However, the true game-changer isn’t just the Skyrider X1 itself; it’s the infrastructure enabling its use—designated sites for liftoff and landing. This critical piece of the puzzle has long hindered the industry, which often focused too heavily on the product while neglecting the logistics necessary to support it.

Finally, someone has embraced the principles of Moshe F. Rubenstein’s The Minding Organization: identifying a purpose, assembling the right team, and working backward from the goal to achieve that vision. It’s a strategic approach that’s turning science fiction into everyday life.
