COST

The initial price for a Skycar will be $995,000. We expect the price to come down as production volume goes up but cannot yet predict how much nor how fast the price will be reduced.

CLEAN FUEL

The rotary engines developed by Moller International have been run on a variety of fuels. We intend to use the cleanest fuel available which produces sufficient power for safe operation. Fortunately, it now appears that our engines can quite easily be adapted from gasoline to diesel, hydrogen, ethanol and to combinations of fuels mixed with water and a surfactant. Research and development in this area will continue indefinitely as additional fuels become available and widely distributed.

OTHER SKYCAR MODELS

We have been in discussions for some time with both civilian and military organizations interested in designing a Skycar model which is optimized for medivac, search and rescue and similar missions. This model will be somewhat larger than the M400 and must provide easy access for moving litters, walking wounded and other handicapped in and out. I now believe that this "special missions" Skycar will be the second model produced. We expect to organize a cooperative effort in developing the design.
