Skycar Introduction ideas   added 12/10/00

People would be reluctant to ride in a 1000' tall roller coaster,
   but rarely have problems riding in a 1000' tall elevator.

- Darken the Skycar canopy to reduce awareness of height, weather, etc.
    reminder - people are uncomfortable in glass walled elevators

- Minimize acceleration, noise (i.e. like an elevator)

- Let people read about Skycars before taking a ride - encourage rides by reporters

- Encourage Skycars rides near amusement parks - perhaps ride to/from the airport

- Lower the barriers to initial users 
   * monthly rental
   * provide all maintenance and training - thus easing airline ownership

- Provide Skycars at little or no cost for use during/after natural disasters (floods, storms, etc.)

- Encourage organizations that will benefit the most: 
    * Airlines
    * military
    * police
    * TV news
    * emergency medical
    * regions with highly congested traffic
    * regions which wanted a high-speed rail system (Skycar cost 1/10 as much as high speed rail)
    * resorts, lodge, casinos, etc. which want to increase their business
    * islands or isolated regions which want to increase their accessibility
    * same-day parcel delivery (between FedEx distribution facilities)

- Encourage individuals that will benefit the most:
    * people who can not drive (blind, elderly, disabled, drunk, etc.)
    * people whose time is very valuable, such as - lawyers, doctors, CEOs, salesmen,
