The 5 Best Flying Cars In Movies That We Wish Were Real

The Star Wars movies are a part of American culture that binds generations. Sure, not everyone is a fan of the science fiction universe, but the movies still hold a special place in the hearts of many. Though the stories have carried the Star Wars universe for decades, there are certain elements from within the movies that stand out as particularly eye-catching. One example of that is the Landspeeder, a type of ground-based hovering car that was owned by Luke Skywalker and featured at various points in the series. 

The Star Wars universe is home to several different versions of the Landspeeder, including the X-34 model owned by Skywalker, the XP-38 sport model, and the inexpensive V-35 Courier (via Star Wars). It’s easy to see the appeal of these flying cars: they’re simple to get in and out of, there’s enough room for two people and at least one android, and they can travel anywhere there’s open space regardless of whether there’s a paved road available. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see a personal-use vehicle like this become a reality, but it’s fun to dream about.
