Have you been here?
Moller Hover Test
I was unable to get the still images to work (looks like a single picture that was lost), but the videos -- high & low resolution -- seem to be alright.
And SkyAid has something to say regarding the Moller Sky-Car from the late 90s. Check out the images page.
Issues concerning the Sky-Car can be found at the bottom of SkyAid’s article:
Developing the M400 as a major transportation vehicle will not be a standard, straightforward, business - it is complex at every stage, requiring world-class skills and resources.
Many potential passengers will need to overcome fear of flying in a new type of vehicle and eventually accept electronic piloting, both of which will take time and careful marketing.
Regulatory and liability issues must be dealt with.
Adequate resources must be put into electronics and software, for avionics and supporting infrastructure -- if not, the M400 won't fulfill its potential as a major transportation vehicle, but will be limited to use by licensed pilots.
If undercapitalized, the Skycar developer will be vulnerable to sudden, large-scale competition.
It’s a realistic outlook.
Cheers,
Dan
