Moler's Skycar Successfully Transitions From Vertical to HorizontalFlight

Well, to be technical about it was a picture I cut out of a magazine and
folded into a paper airplane. It flew rather nicelly.

Awhhhh come on...Why'd you take it down. It was a good topic for the
1st.

The three previous posts come up as "no longer on server".
From your comment it sounds like it's a server problem (used by
charger) rather than the posts being taken down.

It sounded like a good topic for the date.

Levity aside, I am certain that the Moller air car -can- achieve
horizontal flight. At least for a short distance off a carriers
catapult.

OK, let's do that on the condition Moler flys it.

I had a lengthy e-mail discussion with the editor of a well known business
publication about the Skycar. Last fall, the magazine published an article
extolling the Skycar and how it will revolutionize travel. I took them to
task for publishing essentially the same story that has appeared in Popular
Science, Popular Mechanics, and every other marginally accurate publication
of that type over the last 30 years. I pointed out that, other than a
mock-up with a fancy red paint job, very little progress has been made over
40 years, and that we're still waiting on the Skycar's first flight. I also
noted that one downside of good press is that more and more people are
encouraged to invest their hard earned money in the same sinkhole that has
claimed $100,000,000 in the last 30-40 years.

Amazing that a seemingly reputable business magazine didn't do any more
behind the scenes research before publishing what was essentially a press
release for Moler...
