Review: CURTZ yes, but in my dreams I don't need machines to fly. Maybe just a feather in a magic hat, but that's not what we're talking about here. Back to reality though the a design that has the most promise is a design like Moller's aerocar. But I beleive that he needs to get out of the whole autonomous flight thing. Set the vehicle up to fly manually stop wasting time on computerized flight-control systems, and develop more powerful yet compact engines. If it proves even experienced test pilots (like Edwards test pilots) are unable to manually fly it, then start with gyroscopic stabalization if that doesn't work then work on the AI. But if it's just a matter of building the skill to fly then well that's just the nature of the business. If Moller is just delaying and costing his investors money because he doesn't think the average person can control his vehicle and not even proving his car is even capable of flight (outside virtural reality) that is a travesty. Make it fly.

Review: If weight on the ground is a problem, why not just use hollow spaces as a container to fill up with water. When preparing to fly, open a valve to shed the weight. Fill up again at the destination.

Review: Nice pix of Molt Taylor's prototype 1949 AEROCAR. My AEROCAR is serial number 4 and is the last one built. It currently flies and is actually useful. The other four AEROCARs are in museums. A new AEROCAR is very possible, but there is a lot of technology to be achieved to do it successfully, be patient. My Web site shows some of the challenges and DOT/FAA requirements.

Review: I don't mean to "mock" you CURTZ, but 760 MPH is Mach 1.

Review: In 1970-'73 we lived at Huntington Beach and there was a small company making and marketing a "helio-car" for $1,500 some place in Long Beach. It was shown on area television. It had a range of between LA and Bakersfield. My husband and I were really interested in flying over the pass, instead of driving. We don't remember the name of the manufacturer, but none of the slide shows featured that particular vehicle. We were wondering if anyone else in the industry remember this helio-car. We were intrigued and still like the idea!

Review: Problem identification: The flying car is the next step in the evolution of aviation or the automobile, two fundamentally distinct technologies. The essence of a flying car is that it can levitate, fly like an airplane and function as a car, at affordable price and ease of use. Challenges: Quick take-off during normal road traffic while mobile. The idea is to transform mobility characteristics in limited form factor of a car in short time frame and range. Approaches: So far, the inventions have shown adoption of prevailing aircraft design technologies like wing or rotor into an automobile. Original thinking: There is a need for re-look at the automobile from fresh perspectives. That is, if older approaches did work, we would have had some convincing solutions on the street today! Since this is not the case, it calls for original and creative thinking. Back to the Future: The Flying Car is indeed a frontier technology and is a continuation of man's fascination with flight.

Review: My flying car is called the Mock 5. Even though a mock is 700 miles per hour, my car only does about 1400 miles per hour in the air and can travel at about 280 miles per hour on the highway. It is uniquely designed and extremely sharp. I estimate the cost of making this product to be about $1 million. I had a dream of this car and actually got to ride in it. But only in my dream. The smooth take off flying and landing were remarkably impeccable.
