Moller International seem to be trying their darndest to make good on that whole Jetsons-flying-car future that we were all promised back in the ’60s.

It all sounds like pie to me:

From your garage to your destination, the M400 Skycar can cruise comfortably at 275 MPH (maximum speed of 375 MPH) and achieve up to 20 miles per gallon on clean burning, ethanol fuel. No traffic, no red lights, no speeding tickets. Just quiet direct transportation from point A to point B in a fraction of the time. Three dimensional mobility in place of two dimensional immobility.

Operators require a pilot’s license, and probably and airfield and a flight plan and a tower and safety equipment and some other stuff, but other than that it’s *just* like a car.

The Volantor is available for purchase, get in the first 500 delivery positions for a mere-smear $10,000 deposit!

Deposit is refundable until after a successful transitioning flight has occurred. Thereafter deposits are refundable only if Final Delivery Price exceeds List Price (as adjusted for CPI-W) by 5%, OR Standard Equipment List has been shortened OR Guaranteed Performance Specifications are not met, OR FAA Certification Date of the M400 Skycar occurs after December 31

Check out the video on the Moller website.

I am excited about the flying car, because the advancement of the flying car means that people will stop asking about &%$ Rosie sooner rather than later.
