The Lyrics
In the 1980s, Boeing tried to develop a flying car called "Sky Commuter" with a tricycle layout, gas turbine engine driving 3 fans, and of Delta configuration. Very futuristic, Boeing invested $6 million for three prototypes that had everything but engines. One survives minus engine and is for sale for $72,000! A total waste.
I'm dreaming of the Sky Commuter
The Flying car dream, don't you know
Where highway drivin' turns to smooth air flyin'
Watching people like ants down far below!
I'm dreaming of the Sky Commuter
A Boeing futuristic sight
More practical that Imperial speeder bikes
And Bond movie gadjet flying car types!
I'm dreaming of the Sky Commuter
Gas turbine, 3 fans blow
Spent $6 million on 3 types sittin'
Where did all that money go???
I'm dreaming of the Sky Commuter
But the idea wasn't quite right
FAA was ready to strike
But still one for auction, priced just right
A garage ornament impressive to tykes!!!
Here's a check for $72,000...

ya know this parody does raise a good question it's the 21st century now and there's still no flying cars nor jetpacks! where are they? what about "The Jetsons?" was it all just... a lie? 5's
Reliance on drone tech and robotics...
Some conservative blogger once said "I grew up reading about the future, dreaming of my flying car and my jet backpack, and all I got was the dystopian government".
The Israeli Air Mule is probably as close as one can get to an air vehicle as big as a car that can snake through urban areas. It's not a flying car but a rescue UAV that can be adapted for firefighting, police work, transport, etc...
