In 1910, French artist Villemard produced a series of illustrations depicting what life might be like in the year 2000. Some of his illustrations represent his vision of aviation.
He might not have precisely foreseen drones, segways, hoverboards or iPhones, but he came up with some pretty cool, fanciful ideas and wasn’t far off on many things

The airship doesn’t look to impossible, although not very aerodynamic.
The small airplanes aren’t creatures of fantasy either, except for the one in the third pic without rear stabilizer. All of them are horribly unsafe of course, since they don’t even have seatbelts!
The helicopter without a tail rotor is an interesting design, maybe the fins counteract the torque created by the rotor?

I refuse to comment the personal wings.
