Moller skycar still kicking

http://www.moller.com/

I read the first link and skimmed the second. Couldn't take any more
as my sides were splitting. Ceiling 29,000, speed 350.
No...please...stop it!

Check out http://www.moller.com/purchase/purch_info.html. Only $100K
to secure a delivery slot! And the "car" will be priced at (slightly) less than
a million smackers! If you're willing to wait till after position 250 (I think it
was), you only pay $10K and a final price of $500K.

I think I'll wait till postion 100K and pay $10,000....

The article also says something about the recent hover. IIRC that was 2 years
ago. Amazing how a project he has been working on for 30 years still can't
hover out of ground effect let alone transition to horizontal flight. I bet a
few million dollars worth of investment will fix that.

Be my guest :-)

I'm waiting for the exciting computer animation of what it will look
like. That should only take 3 years and a couple million, but it's
all in the name of progress.

I bet it wouldn't.

I should have engaged sarcasm mode

I am surprised the con artist hasn't made any form of animation let alone 3D.

I bet it wouldn't.

I bet this could fly from point A to point B without speed limits. See

On no, the flying car again.

Building a flying car is hard. Building a flying ONE CAR GARAGE is easier
and you can put anything in it you like. I like a Mercedes limo in a C-130
although someone suggested that a skate board duct taped to the strut of an
ultralight would work too.

Thanks for the link, Richard. From the "update" section of that web
site, "The wing struts were attached to the Pinto's body panels with
sheet metal screws and everything was really bad. The guy died over
Oxnard when the struts detached and the wings just folded."

And from http://www.airspacemag.com/ASM/Mag/I...6/DJ/ccsf.html

In the 1950s and '60s, Leland Bryan produced a series of
highway-certified folding-wing Roadables that used their pusher
propellers for both air and road power. Bryan died in the crash of his
Roadable III in 1974. And in 1973, Henry Smolinski, mimicking the
ConVairCar rental unit concept, fastened the wings, tail, and aft
engine of a Cessna Skymaster to a Ford Pinto. The wing struts
collapsed on its first test flight, killing Smolinski and the pilot.
