Helicopters.

If only...

I think this is the plan for the near future, minus the pilot.

This one exists. I will be using something like this to watch the solar eclipse this month.

This is not far off, except we use satellites instead of wires.

Reminds me Jules Verne themed movies from Karel Zeman.

They were already dreaming of thoses flying cars 5th Element style... and we are still waiting for them :'(

3D printing!

roomba

...with airplanes now.

this one is true now

in a way, IG filters are the same thing.

RVs?

Molecular cooking is a fad in Europe nowadays!

Ummm, why?

A keyboard and multiple-track recording.

Airbus!! :D

Helicopters do that now.

What goes better with flying than some alcohol?

Nope!

hahaha, HeliCOPters. That was bad...

Sky crimes. Why do the police need little fins on their feet?

That many rotors in a city setting can not be good.

I understand the down vote but remember who creat this picture: a French male from 19th/ early 20th. We're seeing this from our actual point of view and we are all glad this vision of the futur did not realise! But in case some people forgot, Europeans at that time had colonies and that was how they saw the Natives. Colonies were just good for their raw material, cheap workforce (very very close to slavery), showing domination of white peoples... white people giving themselves good conscience by Christianizing and "educating" those "poor/good savages". I'm a little sad this picture got buried, because it's hidding what actually happened, what we are responsible for....

O_O Why would they want to- ah, never..mind...

Mad Max

we're not all aquaman they do realise?

Lets see.... the PBY-5 Catalina, the P3 Orion? However, this is not a torpedo plane, this is a bomber, like the B-17, B-52, or the AC 130 Hercules.

Take the observer out and we have drones.

More like air-taxi. "Pilot, let me out at the Louvre Musem [please]". (I'm adding the word 'please' because it's polite to treat your taxi driver like a real live person who deserves respect.)

Oh this has "bad-s**t-gon-happen" written all over it.

Cause we can just stop and wait....

King-Kongtopuss?

It's interesting to see that while envisioning a future in which ordinary tasks were mechanized and air travel and underwater life became commonplace, the class system was preserved. Also persisting unchanged: sex roles, racial prejudice, war and violence, and the confinement of women's sexuality,

...yeah...that's why they were almost wiped out.

Stealing baby eagles? Uhmmm...
