When you click on "What the experts say" the only "expert" you get is the founder of the company. And "Dr." Ikeler is a vetrinarian! This looks like the classic "we'll get the money first" and then we'll figure we can give some tiny amount to someone to invent the technology. Their site seems to also want to install bogus things on my machine, be careful when you go there. |

There was an intersting article on CBC radio Quirks and Quarks
http://radio.cbc.ca/programs/quirks/, Sat. 6 Dec about flight and where it was going. There was a fellow on named Dennis Bushnell who said he worked at Dryden. he talked about a new transportation system which sounded very Mollerish. My question is, because he works at Dryden do I give him more credability or is it still pie in the sky?

Ray Toews If you mean "Highway in the Sky" then NASA definitely has some programs related to that, and has for a long time. If you mean "Flying Cars for the Masses", you might wanna see if he'll sell you a spare Brooklyn Bridge first. Eric |

I've been out there on occasion and you got all types, from certified genius to just plain certifiable. Did he say what he was doing for them out there in the desert at Edwards? But I say encourage the guy, its not my money, and maybe they'll learn something we can all use. |

There's another whole generation out there waiting to be reeled in by
a Moller-type "entrepreneur." They are tired of waiting for Moller to start deliveries and need somewhere to pay for a dream that will never come true. This one looks like the wing was added as an afterthought. What kind of interference drag do you suppose exists between it and the roof of the "fuselage?" If they took off that wing they could sell the rest of it to Chrysler for next year's lineup. Dan |

I just wonder if that 58 year old woman they sold the first one to will live long enough to see it. |

Well, I thought I had seen it all, but I'll let you judge...
I got this from one of these newsgroups, but I am not sure which one. http://www.protoscience.com/protobike.html It's GOTTA BE a joke, but who knows... The "products" in this WEB site don't even qualify as "vaporware", they are flat and purely simply "BULL****WARE" (just read about the "ProtoModem", my GOD this idiot doesn't even have a clue about FCC regulations!!! ) By the mean time, the only shot at a viable flying car still is: http://www.aerocar.com I met this guy personally (he has a hangar full of cool toys at 00V) and it seems that he is quietly advancing in his concept. At least seems simple enough and "been there, done that..." Enrique A. Troconis CFI @ stevensonairport.com |

It is a Porsche 911 Turbo car equipped with the wing and twin tail of a Cessna Skymaster. The pusher prop is driven by the Porsche (400 hp) engine via an inverted Z-drive. The "aeroplane part" of this aerocar is easily removable and stays on the airfield while the "car part" drives to the city.... George Vranek Retired aeronautical engineer and hobby flyer |
