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. Funny how the 1953 Avro Aircar was a saucer-shaped aircraft intended to fly at altitude but they couldn't get it out of ground effect.
