aircraft
In the XXI century, humanity is hard at work trying to adapt the airspace for private use. Major air companies and small startups alike are working on creating their own aircraft. Each year sees the introduction of ever more sophisticated working prototypes and even commercial models entering the market. Small vehicles that can carry several passengers across a relatively small distance are particularly gaining traction. Flying city taxis are a popular field of development. For example, Uber and NASA are working on a similar project together. Autonomous flying vehicles are another promising area. Facebook, Google and other big players are building their own versions.
