Question:

what is the difference between a 2 wheel drive and a front wheel drive?

I am a senior citizen and my son say I should stick with a front wheel drive vehicle, as that‘s what I‘m used to driving.

Answer:

if the wings provide the proper lift,coupled with enough thrust then yes it would achieve level flight. There is a flying car now by the way.
Turbine powered gyrocopters have been made and they are tiny little things. And, before anyone claims that gyrocopters are helicopters, they aren't – the engine only pushes the vehicle forward it does not rotate the blades (airflow does that), and there is a turbine powered bike already.
Front wheel drive means the front wheels move the car. 2 wheel drive could mean either front wheel drive or rear wheel drive which means the rear wheels move the car.
Two wheel drive denotes that two of the four wheels are driven. Front wheel drive is a specific type of two wheel drive. Front wheel drives tend to me easier to drive in wet and snowy conditions. Also most vehicles are front wheel drives these days except for sports cars, trucks and some minivans. Happy Shopping.
A front wheel drive is a two wheel drive where the drive wheels are in front. A rear wheel drive is a two wheel drive where the drive wheels are in the back. Drive wheels are the wheels that turn to push or pull the car to make it go. In four wheel or all wheel drive vehicles, all the wheels are drive wheels. Under normal driving conditions, you wouldn't notice much of a difference between any of them. You may notice the difference if the pavement is slick as with rain, ice or snow. If your looking for advice, I'd recomend the frontwheel drive, also, especially if that is what you've been driving for a while.
