GROUND-EFFECT VEHICLE PRODUCTION LAUNCHED
Moller International has completed tooling for its M200G volantor, a
small, "Jetson-like" two-passenger vehicle designed to take-off and
land vertically. The M200G is saucer-shaped, about the size of a
small automobile, and is intended for operation continuously about
10 feet above ground level. "It's the ultimate off-road vehicle,
able to travel over any surface," claimed Dr. Paul Moller, CEO. He
further claimed the M200G could speed up to 50 mph over a variety of
terrain because the electronics keep the craft stabilized at no more
than 10 feet altitude, where extra lift is obtained from operating
near the ground. For more information, visit www.Moller.com.

I'll bet it's a real thrill going over hills, especially on the
downhill side.


I'll bet nobody knows.

WHat ****es me off is that EAA is hyping it for him.

It's not hard to figure out; not even the Marine Corp has balls big
enough to try running a hovercraft over a hill bigger than a small
sand dune.
