The Skycar
Moller International has developed the first and only feasible, personally
affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle the world has
ever seen.
You've always known it was just a matter of time before the world demanded
some kind of flying machine which would replace the automobile. Of course, this
machine would have to be capable of VTOL, be easy to maintain, cost effective
and reliable. Well, we at Moller International believe we have come up with the
solution. That solution is the volantor named
M400 Skycar.
Let's compare the M400 Skycar with what's available now, the automobile. Take
the most technologically advanced automobile, the Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati,
Lamborgini, or the more affordable Acura, Accord, or the like. It seems like all of
the manufacturers of these cars are touting the new and greatly improved
"aerodynamics" of their cars. Those in the aerospace industry have been dealing
with aerodynamics from the start. In the auto industry they boast of aerodynamics,
performance tuned wide track suspensions, electronic ignition and fuel injection
systems, computer controllers, and the list goes on. What good does all this
"advanced engineering" do for you when the speed limit is around 60 MPH and
you are stuck on crowded freeways anyway?
Can any automobile give you this scenario? From your garage to your
destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 275 MPH (maximum
speed of 375 MPH) and achieve up to 20 miles per gallon on clean burning,
ethanol fuel. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet
direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time.
Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility.
No matter how you look at it the automobile is only an interim step on our
evolutionary path to independence from gravity. That's all it will ever be.
Moller International's M400 Skycar volantor is the next step.
