“Flying vehicles are no longer just a question of science fiction. Last spring, NASA announced that, together with Uber, it is working on a project to design a safe and efficient air transport system and begin research in this field. Upon hearing this, at one of our educational events for parents and children, we gave a special assignment to create traffic rules for flying vehicles. The assignment, originally included in our textbook for integrated learning, was met with enthusiasm – within 15 minutes, we received such original proposals that we decided to expand it into a national competition for all children in Lithuania,” remembers Darius Radkevičius, the member at the commission, film director, businessman, publisher, and business consultant.
The competition will require integrating many skills.
Participants in the competition will be called to draw a blueprint of the flying vehicle, to describe it in writing, to list the rules for using it, to translate them into English, to create a prototype, and to film a short presentation of their project. The winning team will win a trip to the Euro Space Center in Belgium.
“The participants will need to employ their skills and knowledge in the arts, Lithuanian and English languages, ethics, social studies, technology, and IT. They will also have to collect information about flying vehicles, to transpose the knowledge they already have to a new context. The task will encourage originality and creative solutions, as well as cooperation and teamwork, as the participants will be working in groups. Thus, this competition is about bringing children joy and about being an example of how integrated learning can help children grow into well-rounded personalities,” explains D. Radkevičius.
One of the messages the working group behind the competition aims to send is that integral learning focused on real-life events guarantees a consistent and holistic learning process across the disciplines. This in turn helps children to develop complex and holistic worldviews, enables them to more easily comprehend world developments, and to have a clearer understanding of the purpose of learning.
“By inviting fourth graders to develop traffic rules for flying automobiles, we want to show the full potential of both our children and of our education. We see the future of education to be about integrated learning and project-based educational programs – and achieving this future is a great opportunity to really benefit our society,” claims D. Radkevičius.

We’re fast -
Run and run,
The wind will carry us!
Above the blue sky.
We have a desire to visit friends.
We care about the rules,
It is necessary to follow them,
We want quickly and safety -
To get back home!

34. Rules for flying machines I
1) The distance between the flying cars must be not less than 30
meters from the both sides - the beginning and the end.
2) The” top- down” distance between the flying cars must be not
less than 50 meters.
3) The maximum speed aloud is 550kilometres per hour in the
town and 650 kilometres outside the town.
4) Overtaking from above the neon signal of the lights must be
switched on.
5) The flying cars must be covered with nanoparticles avoiding
the dust.
35. Rules for flying machines II
6) In case of the wind blowing 20 meters per second the flying cars
must lower to the ground and move at 200 kilometres per hour.
7) The flying car must stop and let the flock of the lying birds pass. It
must‘t give a sound signal in any case.
8) The technical condition of autopilots of the flying cars must be
checked in every half of a year.
9) Before taking a seat into flying car the heath condition (The
number of the slept hours per night must be not less than 6 hours. The
alcohol, drugs and other bad habits are forbidden.) of the driver and
passenger must be checked by the special scanner. In case of
infringement the car is automatically blocked.
10) The passenger must be taken only in the special are marked by
infra-red.
36. Explanations
• Here is a passenger area. Inside, the
passengers lie in the 3D space while
lying in the capsules, so windows are
not needed here.
• Exterior sprayed with NANO
particles to protect the car from dust.
37. Explanations
• Here is a passenger IT area where
you can work remotely, contact
any corner of the world.
38. Here is a communication area where IT is forbidden and live
communication is only encouraged with fellow travellers.
39. There is an autopilot system that controls a flying car,
so no drivers are needed.
40. Through 5 highest tubes are absorbing from the environment
CO2, and the system is consuming CO2 as a fuel for a flying
car. Finally, the car are releasing into environment O2,
through the lowest two tubes. This way not only does not
pollute nature, but also improves the ecological situation of
the Earth.
46. FLYING CAR SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Flying car is solar powered spacecraft, it’s ecological green car
with solar panels on a roof.
2. Flying car is a self-driving car and designed to be controlled
by voice commands.
3. Flying car has steering wheel and electronic display.
4. Flying car’s autopilot system is made up of multiple sensors
placed all around the car. These sensors help the car
understand its environment.
5. Flying cars will not have accidents because they are always
attentive and active, observing their environments and
scanning multiple directions. Cars will interact among each
other, exchange information, coordinates, car accidents,
changed weather conditions and other information.
47. The Rules
1. If there are more than 50 cars in a particular scan environment
then the speed should not exceed 100 km / h.
2. If there are more than 100 cars in the scanned environment
then the speed should not exceed 80 km / h.
3. Speed can depend on the level of flight (height), the higher the
fly can fly the faster. The lower - the slower.
4. If there are more than 5 cars in the scanned environment then
the speed should not exceed 170 km / h.
5. If the car is not able to fly at maximum speed (200 km / h).
48. What about police?
It could be drones with cameras, lights, sound and
unlimited speeds. Size could be similar to cars
that the police would not seem to be a small toy ..
49. DON’T FORGOT TAXI!
Taxi will be without a driver.
And billing for the service is automatic, cameras from
the outside and from the inside.
52. WHERE TO PARK CARS?
There could be air stops in the air.
You could also recharge machines, taxis and drones. All
three of those I mentioned are automatically arriving at
the recharge place and they can read your mind knows
when you want to eat. And launch the order in advance.
53. ALERTS
If you forget the speed you need to drive the machine the
display will show the speed, congestion and other warnings.
54. HOLOGRAMS WOULD BE USED
Wherever you go, navigation can automatically draw
holograms (without any 3D glasses).
55. WHAT IF DRONES WERE BROKEN?
We'll lose a lot of motionless, so we think drone substitutes can
be we by ourself, only for that we need security masks,
protective jackets and what we're up with is called jetpack.
