Rotary advancements/skycar

The rotary engine is getting better. I see this company has been playing with it, and made a skycar too. Check out the link and main website. Moller.... interesting read.

That's kinda cool. It is nice to see someone else work on the rotary.

very interesting concept, I'm glad to see them putting that much effort into the engines, and if they can get the fuel consumption to around 30 mpg we'll start to see a lot more rotaries on the road.

The skycar is still a laugh tho, neither needed nor wanted at this day and age, we have more pressing issues to take care of like making cars extremely fuel efficient
