"A flying saucer that glides 10 feet off the ground and carries two passengers has gone into commercial production.

Moller International, based in Davis, Calif., has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.

The M200G is the size of a small car and is designed to take off and land vertically.

Company founder Paul Moller, in a press release, called the craft "the ultimate off-road vehicle" as it is able to travel over any surface.

"It's not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy," said Moller, a retired professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California at Davis. "You can speed over rocks, swampland, fences or log-infested waterways with ease, because you're not limited by the surface."

This "car" has been in production since the 70's or so. It is basically a scam the guy is running. He gets investors money and he keeps working on this thing but never actually brings it to real production.

It's the first time I've ever seen anything that actually works. It's still a cool "car"

That's just it.... It only 'works' on his investor website. This vehicle has been 2-3 years away from production for 20 years now - just with new shell companies.
