Skycar by Moller International

George Jetson Never Had It So Good!

 Skycar is the transportation phenomenon of our lifetime. Not only will it run on any form of diesel (including biofuel), natural gas or gasoline it gets a surprising 20+ mpg with a range of 750 miles. This is a far cry from its jet fuel guzzling cousins exclusively owned by the military with a price tag potentially less than the sticker price of most luxury automobiles.

Skycar is capable of vertical take-0ff and landings making it ideal for urban use. Although it generates 30% less noise at 50 feet than the standard Cessna 150 I grew up with it's still not suitable for this environment until it becomes much less noisy. if only the construction crew across the street had the same standard!

As for safety, it has every base covered. Skycar comes equipped with a whopping eight engines. If one engine fails it has little to no affect on the performance or superior agility making it more reliable and safer than a helicopter. Believe me, a helicopter is the last place you want to be when the engine fails. At least with a Cessna, an expert pilot can glide the plane to safety given there is a flat area. If for whatever reason skycar loses all its power then its dual parachute system, one in the front and back, will guide the skycar safely back to Earth regardless of the terrain.

Skycar has a ground form which can drive on any highway just like a car. When traffic gets bad the driver simply inputs the end destination just like using Mapquest and the computer does the rest. Using GPS and cooperation from Air Traffic Control the Skycar will safely take its passengers from point A to point B without ever having to lift a finger.

Currently, the price is set for $1million but as the volume of Skycars increases the sticker price can easily drop to a mere $60K. What's keeping this miracle machine off the market? Good ole Uncle Sam, of course. Legislation is currently in the works to approve Skycar for operation in the U.S. market but all the technology is here and they are ready to go. Perhaps our friends in Duabai might have better luck getting this ultimate Bling onto the showroom floor.
