    Gas mileage? I suppose we don't want to know! After all, the article used flying from your yacht to land as an example of this thing's uses!

    "Taking deposits" huh...well as I understand it, Moller has been "taking deposits" while its sky cars have remained "under development" for years. I don't know for sure, but I wonder how many of those eager customers are really just granting interest-free loans for neverending "development".

    Moller has been pushing this (much desired) flying car for...decades. Apparently his operation is always a million short on investment and just needs some money to go into production. Awhile back, one of the prototypes (the only one?) was on eBay for over $1M...it didn't sell.

    Too true, Roger. Moeller has to be running the biggest scam of the century. He usually comes up with a big press release like this when money is tight... get a few more "investors" to jump in. Then some glitch will keep actual deliveries from happening. There have been a number of investigations by the feds; I'm surprised he hasn't been shut down by now.

    10 feet?? More like 10 inches.

    Its a hovercraft. And a badly designed one at that.

    Moller is a bottom-feeder taking investors money for nearly 30 years with the help of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazine and any reporter that wants a "flying car" story (no matter that his claims of 350mph on less than 1/10th the true horsepower needed or other hogwash.)

    He's a scammer as thankfully others have metioned and should have been jailed by the SEC decades ago...

    It carries 250 lbs but fits two people? So...2 people roughly weighing 125lbs? *waits for american jokes* :P

    Why! What a coincidence! Neatorama is just $1 million shy from developing a mega-ultra-cool blog-thingie. Who wants to invest? :)
