The Skycar from Moller

Best news of all week! Moller International are working on a skycar that holds big promise for the future of flying cars.

Quoted from the site:

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:

  • Demonstrators for use over one’s own property (M200D)
  • Versions that operate within ground effect–approximately 10 feet AGL (M200G)
  • Experimental or homebuilt variants (M200E)
  • 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.

It looks like a jacuzzi made sweet, sweet love with a saucer and a vacuum cleaner. But damn, the thing can fly!
