You're listening to Shortwave from NPR.
Welcome back, short wavers.
It's your science besties, Emily Kwong.
And Regina Barber.
And this summer, we have a brand new series for you.
Tech Camp.
That's right.
Every Monday, check this feed for a new episode about the technological frontier.
Tracking down the breakthroughs, experiments, and innovations that could change everything.
And we're starting with a vehicle that's been promised to us for decades.
This is where I thought technology was headed since the days of the Jetsons.
Flying cars.
But this was a fantasy of the 60s.
Like, flying cars are not real.
I'm going to blow your mind.
As long ago as 1953, you could order a flying taxi in New York City.
OK, so these weren't technically flying cars.
They were helicopters.
But these air taxis in New York would take passengers to the airport from maybe the roof of an office building in Manhattan.
And this would cost about seven bucks in the mid 60s, which is a little over $70 today.
