To have pleasant road trips, avoid commuting, and spend less time on journey to arrive at the desired destination much faster, a model of flying transportation technology has been proposed. The vision behind this technology is to design an economical, safe, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. This study seeks to present a 3D numerical simulation of external flow for a flying automobile with well-designed rectangular NACA 9618 wings. To enhance its airborne capabilities, this car’s aerodynamic traits have been professionally measured and adjusted, such that it utilizes minimal takeoff velocity. Besides, the vehicle will have an integrated 3D k-omega turbulence model, which captures a fundamental flow physics enhancing the performance during takeoff. This forms the theoretical basis of the flying car. The numerical aspect comprises a limited-edition Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equation (RANS) comprehensible schemes. Generally, the vehicle is designed with highly functional wings that allow divergent deployments during takeoff to maximize its air performance. Because of the utilization of wind during the flying process, the model has integrated wind turbines that enables wind recodification to propel the car in the air. Considering the combination of technologies involved in the design of the flying car, it is one of the most sophisticated inventions that will not only facilitate safe transportation and save trillions of dollars annually but also significantly help in saving the ecosystem.
