Okayyy folks, I've just seen HEAVEN!!!.. LITERALLY
Here is the one vehicle that will OWNANYTHING ELSE
Presenting the Volantor* M400 ... a.k.a. SkyCar... the first and only feasible,
personally affordable, personal vertical takeoff and landing *(VTOL) vehicle
the world has ever seen.
... Nope it isn't an episode from Si Fi! Sales are scheduled for 2008!
Performance:
The Skycar performance exceeds that of any light helicopter, including a top speed that
is three times faster. When compared to a high-performance airplane, the Skycar has
vertical takeoff and landing capability, is safer and potentially less expensive.
The performance boundaries of the Skycar are much less restrictive than those of both
helicopters and airplanes. These expanded operating limits are the natural consequence
of combining VTOL and high-speed cruise in a single aircraft. The resulting flexibility
allows many transportation applications to be addressed for the first time.
Yes those are tethers. If it was your $100 million car under test, you would tether it too.
