I've seen that before but it still scares me. Looks like a small plane is, well, the picture speaks for itself.

Moller has been "about to release" a skycar model for as long as I've been cognizant. They seem to be better at placing magazine stories than anything else. That newer design has been around for at least ten years and has been "right around the corner" the entire time. I'll believe it when I see it, but I think that Moller is the modern Vector.

The aero-Vector, anyway.

Agreed, they've been at it for a long time (at least a decade), but the one thing that might save them is the potential military applications for their product.

Hey, what's wrong with Vector!! That company was practically in my backyard (Torrance). I so lusted after some of their cars. I'm not sure but I heard the owner of the company went crazy and barricaded himself inside company HQ's with a gun and wouldn't come out. :huh:

wow. isn't the point of a flying car that it's compact enough to drive on streets? this is just wierd.
