30 concept cars that never hit the mainstream

When designers are asked to paint the future for automakers, they sometimes create a piece of art so stunning it could never go into production. Car manufacturing is about mass appeal after all, and a vehicle that's too unique won't sell as well to the masses. Others are fully intended to go into production immediately, only to have financial or legal challenges get in the way. Here are some incredible vehicles that never made it into our driveways.

From da Vinci to the drone: a brief history of the helicopter

The idea of a machine that could fly from a vertical takeoff was first mooted by Leonardo da Vinci as far back as the early 1480s. Over the next four hundred years or so, inventors, engineers, and aviation pioneers developed the idea of a rotocraft, in which lift and thrust are supplied by horizontally-spinning rotors. The first modern helicopters appeared in the late 1930s, and today they are a familiar sight in skies around the world. More recently, the advent of the quadcopter, often referred to as a drone, has seen da Vinci's original concept come full circle. Intrigued? Click through the following gallery for a brief look at the history of the helicopter.
