That's not the only flying car. There's another one or two made by a man name Moeller or something like that. He also is credited for making a muffler for dirt bikes that doesn't reduce horsepower or something like that.

In a brief description of the ship: It has a operational electric gas assisted lexan bubble canopy. Electric controled directional driving and landing lights. Electric Joystick and two foot pedals on both side and the craft was meant to be controlled from either seat. Advanced front dash shell made of Carbonfiber and Kevlar. Rear engine and electronics bay accessible by tilting seats forward and removing the back panel. (3) huge 3 foot lifting fans CCW/CW rotation. This was made to take off in vertical fight and land. It can be landed on water and float like a boat and take off of water. The targeted dream was to lift above it all and not deal with the daily gridlock traffic. Nearly at the finish line it all came to a abrupt stop and all the years and investment and R&D and production, Remains in this one craft shown here.

Thats the description of it a little ways down the paragraph. It has a rear engine and 3 fans to lift it.

yeah, if you keep reading down he explains that it doesn't fly, the engines are put in just to show they can spin the blades, it won't actually lift off the ground.

LAME
