Hey what will stop someone from stealing one?
Not knowing how to drive it?

 

No one will be able to steal one, as they dont fly anyhow.

Since I've been watching their development (ongoing since the 70's I believe) , in that 7 years they've made no progress, but attracted a lot of investment funds...

The thing doesnt work, the business plan dosnt work, current laws on airtraffic wont let it work.

If they ever get to a commercial product I'll be amazded, but what there pushing now is 99.8% fraud.

 

This has been discussed here before.

 

Please supply some evidence before you bash a company

this is the same bs they said about flying and flight in space.
Very negative comments such as above slows down progress in the world, the skycar is still in development many designs from 1970-present and the skycar has changed through those years with the present technology, skycars new automated avionics system and with GPS satellites the skycar will be a reality.

 

BOO to RobDickinson


Progression hater!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If I could trade in my 8 for any other mode of transportation that would be it

 

Nah it probably has low torque and most likely will only flood when you try to start it, I bet the 0-60 sucks too. (J/k)

 

heh. I'd love to be flying one of these things one day myself.

But In 7 years they've gone nowhere, and the only evidence they've don anything is a 30 second clip of a car (tethered) hovering.

This thing just isnt going to work, not wiht 8 rotary engines (less advanced than the renesis). They've been promising this mythical skycar since the 70's and are still no closer to a product, and when they DO get a product it'll face all the same restrictions as helocopters anyhow, so your not going to be landing one in the works car park or at home etc.

 

8 rotaries. How much fuel will it need.....

 

I don't know what you all have done, but their stock rose 0.1 points to day (6.67%). I work for a contractor for the FAA, and I'll speculate that its a ways out before you could see regulations that would allow personal air vehicles (50+ years even for a handful, not for the masses)

 

It will be used for government applications
search and rescue, recon, and skytaxi.


JSOC 6 member squad
maybe

 

What? Nobody else sees this thing militarized?
Slap some guns and a targeting computer on this, and it would be like half the arcade games from the early 90's.

Seriously though, before civilian use, I can see police and emergency vehicles soaring above traffic in some decended variation of the M400 If they work as advertised, I think things like these would probably take the place of medivac choppers and troop transports rather quickly too.

Moller's website claims "Comfortable cruise speeds of 350+ MPH" and "able to achieve up to 28Mpg on regular automotive fuel"

And you think people stare now when you put gass in the 8... Picture pulling up,... or rather landing one of these at your corner gas station.

 

They really need to give it the ability to cruise on the highway as well as the sky. There will always be no-fly zones and you'll need some kind of land ability to access those areas (for example Washinton DC is a no-fly zone as well as the areas surrounding large airports).

 

well the stock is up 32% it is now 2.12 a share :D

it was at 1.50 two days ago.

 

Freedom Motors Signs Contract to Develop Small Rotapower Engine

"This is a major milestone for the rotary engine as it has the potential to become the largest implementation of rotary engine technology to date, even surpassing the millions of engines produced by Mazda," said Jim Toreson, Freedom Motor's CEO.

Joke. The thing will never evolve past a pet project no matter how much funding there is.

 

Guys I have to lean towards Mr. Dickinsons side here. Been driving rotarys since 1972 and have seen the Skycar develop almost as long. You guys need to check out the advancements in turbine engines. If there is a flying car it will be turbine or some fuel cell powered yet to be discovered technology.

 

Nicola Tesla had imagined a flying car very simliar to this, only powered by his bladeless turbines, which "in theory", would be making about 10 HP per pound at much higher efficiency than any other type of turbine. Unfotrunately he had a tendency to bounce from one invention to another without fleshing out all the details. Plus there weren't really any suitable materials for making a long-lasting turbine 100 years ago.
