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

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... 10 feet?? More like 10 inches.

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. Too true, Roger.

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. Moller has been pushing this (much desired) flying car for...decades.

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".
