This must be an election year. People will believe anything.



PDATED November 15, 2004 After recent successful tethered hovering
flights of the M400 Skycar, including at the at the WIRED NextFest in
San Francisco in May, 2004, Moller International is accepting deposits
to secure delivery positions this groundbreaking vehicle. A 10% deposit
of US$100,000 will put you in the top 100 on the delivery list for the
M-400 Skycar, which is expected to be FAA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...Administration -certified
for use by the end of 2005. Over 100 reservations have already been
placed and demand is expected to grow as the working model
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Model nears production.

Untethered flight tests are planned when an additional M400
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_M400_transmission is completed
(currently only one exists) and the flights will occur over a specially
constructed lake in California. The lake will be approximately 3 metres
deep with a silt, rock free bottom, making it ideal for test flights in
which the Skycar will be equipped with flotation gear and operate at
less than 50 feet altitude. If the minimun US$10K deposit is out of the
question, www.moller.com reports that two M400 Skycar flight simulations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation are now available. For full
details visit the Skycar site at www.moller.com
