Now you may be wondering if I really said that you can lean back and relax, maybe read a book, but it’s no joke. The Skycar would be too dangerous if flight was manual. It is controlled by GPS or Global Positioning System. This way, not only is driving unneeded but anyone can drive without risk. The four-seat Skycar is powered by eight rotary engines that are inside four metal containers, called nacelles, on the side of it. There are two engines in each nacelle so that if one of the engines in one of the nacelle fails, the other engine can keep it going. The engines lift the craft with 720 horsepower, and then thrust the craft forward. The Wankel engine replaces pistons of a conventional engine with a single triangular rotor spinning inside an oval-shaped chamber, which creates compression and expansion as the rotor turns.

It's safety is not in question, it's just the mpg. Actually, he has now worked out all the flaws and soon (about 20 years) it will be only about 60k to buy!

I lost faith when I lost a big bet in y2k as there where not at least a hundred skycars in the air. Some people are working on the major problem, lift, by having a battery back up to provide extra lift for take off and landing, this does not seam to work as well as planned either. the problem of crashing was solved years ago by B.R.C. Ballistic recovery chutes, these things are amazing and unlike a lot of new stuff they work well. Moller has been working for a long time and may possibly make it work someday.
