The Moller Sky Car is perfectly capable of 560 mph if first it is boosted
into orbit and then allowed to re-enter.. Look for the caveats. Actually
when I think about the right way, so is my Safari helicopter.--

I hope no one has posted this yet...

Oh my god.


My exact same feelings. WoW !!!

I would normally say something witty, but I am speechless. Is it a
scam? Perhaps an organic brain dysfunction? Or maybe this man is a
brave new form of life being weeded out my Darwin...

This is so far beyond anything I have experienced.


You think that is bad, I saw Moller's sky car advertised as being on one

of
the science channel shows, again. they said it would do 560 MPH, or
something stupid like that. Why don't these doods investigate these

things?

Now, that's not fair! First it would have to get up high enough. Never
been above a couple feet, right?

I guess it _could_ drive off a cliff, right? g

No, Moller has never transitioned to or otherwise achieved level
flight. Besides EPA would fine whoever does it. It's got to be toxic
waste. I can't imagine how anything that small could consume that much
money and not be hazardous waste.

That's wishful thinking.

It's been above a couple of feet, but never out of ground effect and
never without attachment to a cabled saftey system.

It has eight, count them eight Mazda rotary engines. It sucks fuel
like there's no tomorrow. It can't carry enough fuel onboard to go
anywhere. Great investor magnet, but not a viable transport. : -)
