Lonan3 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 CHOCKS AWAY The 'Autovolantor' - based on a £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB - is being developed by "Moller International". It will have the ability to take off vertically and hover thanks to eight powerful thrusters which direct air down for take off. Vents then tilt so the car can fly forward. Although landing may be a problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimcalagon Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 This Moller joker has been touting his skycar thing for at least 10 years and nothing has ever flown. I get the impression he's a bit of a con man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I like the concept of the skycar, be great to see it happen. It's almost the stuff of science fiction but I'm sure they said that about many things in the past. It will come about in time for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Not powered by fossil fuels it wont ! We'll have to wait for the next innovation in energy sources before this happens and it certainly wont be on the top of the list of things to use it in, my fecking central heating boiler gets it first !
