    It is the M 200G, otherwise known as a "flying saucer", which is being built by a company in Davis, California called Moller International.

    It says the futuristic contraption will go on sale in a few months and hopes to expand production to 250 a year.

    I want this to happen but Moller has been peddling these Ideas for along time
    www.moller.com has had no new video of m200 models for Decades other than one test flight
    for something this cool this is frustrating.
    MOLLER we want new Video of these things as evidence.
    then orders go through the roof - sales increase - investors flock.
    production up.
    everybody is happy.

    I agree. I too, would like to see this become reality. I don't know how Moller is able to stay in business when everything they have is just a prototype.

    It a first step of things to come. I believe there will come a time when we will all be driving cars that can fly.
