ohhhh yeah could come in handy one day

that is the board

Oh, of course, because having a couple of CARS in every household doesn't pump out enough pollution.

In the same frame - Who wants one of these???
It's a Mercedes Benz owned by an Abu Dhabi oil billionaire (naturally).
Featuring the newly developed V10 quad turbo with 1,600 horsepower and 2800nm of torque
0-100km/h in less than 2secs, 1/4 mile in 6.89secs running on biofuel.

I find that hard to believe...

Accelerating at 1 G (9.8 m/s/s) you'll hit 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds.

To accelerate faster than 1 G you need either super sticky tyres, wicked aerodynamics, or both... A road car like that has neither.

I've been in a race car that does 1-100 in 3.5 seconds, we were battling tyre spin all the way. And that's with racing slicks!

Cisco......natural progression would bbe to remove the 4 engines and their structure, its already on three wheels, add a mast and sail...now ya got something

Re this:-


I think most people are missing the point. If you take the trouble to read and view what is at www.moller.com you may come to realise what an intelligent concept the "Moller Sky Car" is.

The vehicle itself is functional ie it does most of what it is designed to do. It is a "STOL" (short take off landing) vehicle, about a cricket pitch (22 yards or one chain) and is capable of flying at 300 kmh.

It is not fulfilling it's primary design function. That function is the elimination of the spending of billions of dollars on mega motor ways by substituting them with "electronic/virtual highways in the sky".

I seem to remember a movie in which Bruce Willis drove a "Sky Taxi". The only problem with that is letting a human drive it.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Why is the "Moller Sky Car" not fulfilling it's primary design function? Because vested interests in motor cars and motorways wield political influence over the authorities that could legitimise use of the "Moller Sky Car".

If the "Moller Sky Car" was put into mass production, it could be retail sold for about $60,000 per unit. Worth thinking about!!!
