Not near a TV for this one... Are they going to drive/fly it this morning?!
This *is* the future (2002) so it's about time we see some George Jetson like flying cars Regards, Frank A. Tropea |

They showed this on Fox news yesterday on the 6:00 local news. All it showed basically was it hovering while they talked about it. More like an infomercial than a news report.
The thing is interesting but has been in development longer than most people registered here have been alive. It is about the price of about 5 0r 6 Rolls Royce. http://www.smmirror.com/Volume1/issue14/sky_car.html Quote:

Did you get the sense that they're any closer to getting this thing out there to the public? I understand the safety concerns... but if they can nail this GPS thing down and do enough demos, I think the public would accept it.

The military has had VTOL aircraft in use as long as I can remember, and that's a long time.
The Osprey is one that comes to mind. Here is a google search for VTOL aircraft. Moeller isn't alone on this. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=vtol+aircraft http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/ba609/ |
