1. a cheap/efficient way of building planes (or flying car) that don't take up much space
2. an alternative fuel to run them with so it doesn't cost a bomb to use them
3. somekind of navigation system that doesn't require you to actually fly/learn how to fly (automated?)

Myself, I'm waiting for Star trek type transporters.

It would be awesome though.
I'm willing to consider that it may be possible to have personal flying in the army, but never will it ever happen ever as a common mode of transportation.

Confidence in the airline and private flying industry right now is very low. I think it will probably increase when 2 things start to happen.
1- Safety features like full plain parachutes become standard on all private aircraft.
2- Enough time passes by so that people feel flying will be a blessing and not a chore.
Flying lessons for young adults also needs to increase.
My kid cousin is getting a private flying license and i'm very proud.
However I'm sure my cousins parents has their reservations.
Kind Regards & Happy Holidays.

Let me sum it up: It'll not happen, at least not anytime soon. And by soon I mean never. Too expensive, too dangerous and ultimately pointless. Not to mention environmentally unfriendly.
Hope this answers your question.
Common sense.

You are basically saying that there is a cost obstacle and a technological obstacles... as in the entire flying environment will probably have to be automated to remove human error and new propulsion systems will be necessary - perhaps electric? The cost issue could become less of an issue with economies of scale and other technological advances.
One, the energy required to power flying machines is far greater than other transport options. Until we can produce energy in a cheap and hopefully clean manner with enough yield to provide lift, this is far off.
Secondly, our current methods of flying are far too difficult for the average person. Personal flight craft would almost certainly have to be of a VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) variety. Helicopters are ridiculously hard to fly, gyrocopters a bit more simple but still way out of the average consumer's control capability, and jet powered aircraft require much faster acceleration to maintain lift.
So, I would say personal flight is a pipe dream for quite some time. At least another half a century.
