Question:
i know that it exists but i looked it up on google video, and there werent any real shots of the skycar flying
Answers:
is value jet cheap way to fly?

and i found the videos here! one of them was dated 2003, so i'm guessing he's still working on this thing?

where can I take this virtual tour of the 747-800?
and i'll note that one with the crane in the background is questionable! I dont know why anyone would be flying around a crane, i think maybe the craft is being lifted by it.... but the leaves blowing around makes me think otherwise too.
What do i have to learn to get my PPL? Physics, math, english.....i know... but what part of them?
SCRATCH THAT!! FOUND THE REAL DEAL!

What are some way u can pass the time on a plane ride?
M400 Flight Test Plans
Presently all test flights of the M400 Skycar employ a safety tether from above to protect the vehicle from catastrophic failure. Certainly during these early tests there are a number of failure modes with an aircraft that has 24 microprocessors and 25,000 lines of machine language software code. Additional factors that make a tether mandatory include:
is the cabin boss a flight attendant?? and r there such a thing as a speaker and non- speaker FA?
• We are test flying within the Davis City Limits
• We presently have only one M400 aircraft
• Our insurance will go up substantially when the tether is not used while flying over land
Can anyone send me the typical block diagram of the fuel system for a multiple jet-engined aircraft?
We plan to begin untethered flights when we have at least one additional M400 nearing completion. All flights will occur over a specially constructed lake. This lake is part of the Milk Farm development, a commercial 60-acre development underway near the city of Dixon in California on Interstate 80. The lake will have an area of 5 to 6 acres and will be approximately 10 feet deep with a silt, rock free bottom. Most flights will occur at less than 50 feet altitude and will incorporate flotation gear attached to the Skycar.
Is there someplace in or near MA, USA where I can sit in the cockpit of a commercial airliner??
awesome stuff... never seen THIS flying car before....
That's not a car, it's a frikkin' airplane.
Work... Well that depends, work at what?
Dr. Moller has been pursuing this for the longest of time, but building such a contraption is not easy, and many investors have sunk large amount of cash in what some consider a failure.
Believe me: I wish it would work, it would be great. Can it? That is a different question. One of the major stumbling block is certification. Having spent 26 years as an aerospace engineer, I can assure you that conservatism is so great in the industry AND in the certification agency, that getting the regulatory agency's nod of approval will cost more that the complete development of the vehicle, if only because nothing like that exists and that all the rules are going to be made as they go.
why do gasprices vary during a 24 hr period at the pumps?
There is also another, very important issue to consider. With the number of moron on the road, driving under the influence, yakking on their cell phone while recklessly driving without ever looking in their rearview mirrors, do you really want the same (albeit small proportions, but they do spoil it for the rest of us) flying overhead at great speed? And risking colliding with an airliner filled with100's of passengers?
Rate the following aircraft starting from the best first and worst last.?
So, I do hope that it will work, it might very well work from that strictly technological/engineering point of view, but cormercially, I do not think the world is ready for it.
Too bad,once again...
