carl0s Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Do you think it's a coincidence that there's a crane right above it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Do you think it's a coincidence that there's a crane right above it? I thought that, but you can see the slack cable attached to it towards the end. It's there just in case it fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Moller have been going on about their Skycars for years now. It looks like progress is very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 I couldn't help wonder what the range is like. It must take lots of energy to keep it up there, but you'd need to keep weight down, so not carry lots of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one of them (The plane style one I think, not the saucer), goes for 750 miles, 360mph top speed, 30mph cruise speed, ~20mpg over all. Which must mean it's carrying 37.5 gallons of ethanol fuel. Seems a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
