Moller Skycar

by Guy Brighton

M400flagPaul Moller, inventor of the Skycar was in attendence at Nextfest to talk about and promote what he calls, "the only flying car with a real chance." Recently featured with a number of other flying cars on a CBS 60 Minutes episode, Moller feels his is set well apart from the rest of the crowd.

It is a bit different from the others in that is quite a bit faster and has an enclosed cockpit among other things. Moller felt that while the other flying cars were fine for recreation, his design was far more practical. The car is currenty getting ready for offering to the public due to higher interest and a new developments in air traffic control technology.

While the Skycar is decidedly a different animal than the competition and has a more carlike appeal, it will be out of reach for most. The website currently lists single cars as being deliverable for just under a million dollars.
