GROUND-EFFECT VEHICLE PRODUCTION LAUNCHED
Moller International has completed tooling for its M200G volantor, a
small, "Jetson-like" two-passenger vehicle designed to take-off and
land vertically. The M200G is saucer-shaped, about the size of a small
automobile, and is intended for operation continuously about 10 feet
above ground level. "It's the ultimate off-road vehicle, able to
travel over any surface," claimed Dr. Paul Moller, CEO. He further
claimed the M200G could speed up to 50 mph over a variety of terrain
because the electronics keep the craft stabilized at no more than 10
feet altitude, where extra lift is obtained from operating near the
ground. For more information, visit www.Moller.com.

From the Website... And yet he still hasn't been able to produce a video
without it being attached to a crain.
The M200X volantor has completed over two hundred successful test flights.
It has been extensively hard-tooled so that derivatives not requiring FAA
certification are now available.



Recreational and utilitarian models include:

a.. Demonstrators for use over one’s own property (M200D)

b.. Versions that operate within ground effect--approximately 10 feet AGL
(M200G)

c.. Experimental or homebuilt variants (M200E)

d.. Rescue configuration capable of docking with skyscrapers (Firefly 3)

Depending on the number of orders received the prices could vary between
$125,000 for the M200G to $450,000 for the Firefly 3. Information on
potential military and/or para-military applications of the M200R and M200M
are welcome.
