M200G Volantor - Your Personal Flying Car
July 23, 2007 by Carl
Moller International have been working on bringing us affordable flying vehicles for more than 30 years, and it seems that the first of these is very close to being available. The M200G is capable of flying up to 10 feet above any surface, including land, water, sand, swamp and snow.
Safety is very critical to Moller and the M200G has been designed with safety in mind, it is powered by 8 engines which can still operate the M200G if one fails. There are multiple computers onboard which keep the craft stable, these computers work on a voting basis, so if one fails then the others will out vote it for control of the vehicle. It will have extensive air bags and puncture resistant fuel tanks.
Controlling the M200G is simple, with 2 control sticks, the left to control the altitude and rate of climb/descent and the right controls the direction.
The M200G is expected to be available in 2008 and could cost as little as $90,000.
