How do spinners in Blade Runner work?

The iconic flying cars in the Blade Runner franchise known as spinners have always been a focal point of interest for many fans. Spinners have been a source of inspiration for many other science fiction movies including Back to the Future 2, The Fifth Element, and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (Episode II). In this video, I discuss the role of spinners in the Blade Runner movies as well as their relevance to current innovative trends in air transportation, notably air taxis and other eVTOL vehicles.
