Skycar Update

The M400 Skycar Prototype, discussed in a previous post by a fellow PSFK’er, is now available for purchase through the Neiman Marcus Christmas book. This vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle conjures up images of the Jetsons. 

This flying machine rides at 350+mph, gets up to 28 mpg fuel efficiency, and runs on alcohol. It can be purchased for $3.5 million, however it is not FAA approved, and according to the NM website:

"Certain regulatory requirements must be met for purchase of the prototype, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations and Federal Aviation Administration authorization."

So reading the rules above, it seems that it does not have FAA approval and that would be required for purchase…which brings me to believe this is part of a publicity/buzz campaign??

Check out other "Fantasy Gifts" in the Christmas Book that include a $50,000 tree house, $200,000 railroad, and a $1.5 million private Elton John concert.
