I had a mental vision of this thing a couple of weeks ago. Picture a 1950's
Disney cartoon with Goofy, in this case played by a Moller investor, flying
happily along with thr computer keeping the craft level. But wait! The car
is approaching a downward cliff! The computer can't see the cliff, it's
hard to detect a cliff. Goofy isn't even looking. Out into free space the
car goes. Without ground effect, the car can't maintain altitude and
"Yahahaoheychrunch" goes poor goofy. Ah the Moller ground effects machine,
a wonderful invention.
