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. History
repeats itself?

Except Avro was trying to get OUT of ground effect; Moller is trying to stay
IN it.

Maybe he's simply trying to turn a failure into opportunity.

No, Moller used to say his things were going to fly. This "only in ground
effect" thing is recent, probably after he realized he couldn't get out of
ground effect.

The ironic thing is that he was at Avro when they were working on the
Aircar.

I keep conjuring up visions of the Harrier.

Even if Moller could pull it off, as mentioned, his FAA certification
headaches would be, well, deadly.

What if he comes to a 50 foot tree? Can't go over and in grond effect
runs into it (
