This view of the future comes from John Wilkins (1614β1672), an English clergyman, naturalist, and writer, who helped
found the Royal Society for Natural Knowledge in England:
Yet I do seriously and on good grounds affirm it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such
a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry diverse
men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic. It is not the bigness of
anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship
swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat.
