World's First Flying Car Enters Production

[Computer Hope Admin]

In a moment we've been waiting for since the first time we saw The Jetsons, the first flying car has finally gone on sale. Just like the car George uses to drop off the kids, the Moller M200G Volantor is shaped like a saucer. To avoid the need to pass FAA regulations, the civilian version of the Volantor is restricted to heights of 10 feet, but can travel as fast as 50mph and fly for up to 90minutes. Military or rescue versions could be unencumbered by such limitations. Depending on the number of orders, prices could be as low as $90,000. Video of the Volantor in action after the jump.

lol i hate the music.. the 1973 filming wasn't that great either.. r the filming of the photographer.. but the idea's pretty cool.

the fact that there's a crane holding it the whole time doesn't do much for it's credibility though...

Hmm...cool...... 3 meters...... dam FFA regulations....

Although I can understand why they'd want the crane to hold it in case something failed. I agree, it would give a lot more creditability and would be a lot more exciting to watching a flying car fly without being attached to a cable.

it is pretty cool though
but why the saucer shape? i understand that it's a stable shape, but why not something err... more easy to manufacture and manipulate. the saucer one is a bit clumsy too isn't it...

It's a conspiracy, dude!!! The governement has made them use saucer shapes so that the M12 can continue investigating UFOs without disruption!!
