Who: Dr. Paul Moller, the president and Chief Executive Officer of Moller International
What: Dr. Paul Moller, who recieved a masters degree in Engineering and a PhD in Aerodynamics, has had the vision since he was 15, to create the first flight vehicle for the general public. That dream eventually turned into the Skycar. Moller International currently has two in-the-making models, the M400 Skycar and the M200x Neuera, or more formerly the Jetson. Both vehicles are able of vertical liftoff, landing, hovering, and cruising. Most importantly, however, in order for all these ammenities to work, the engine and the stability system must be properly working. In addition, like most cars, it can reach speeds of 75 mph to about 100 mph.
Where: Dr. Paul Moller's company, Moller International, is located in Davis, California.
When: The envisionment of having a flying car has been in Dr. Paul Moller for several years now, since he was 15 years old.
Why: Dr. Paul Moller decided that there should be flying cars because they eliminating high spending on gas, and more importantly you save the time you always used to waste in traffic.
My Opinion: I believe the idea of flying cars is fantastic because not only does it have a much lower environmental effect, it is also much less accident prone than the traditional car. In addition, I along with the rest of the world, would love to get where they want, and faster; opposed to wasting hours on end in bumper to bumper traffic.
