New Technology goes through 3 stages

First it is ridiculed by those ignorant of its potential
Second, it is subverted by those threatened by its potential
Finally, it is considered self-evident

Henry Ford, Chairman, Ford Motor Company-1940

"Mark my word: A combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile. But it will come...

Henry Lahore--Project leader of an extensive Skycar study undertaken by Boeing Aircraft Company:

"With the developing airspace infrastructure in place, the Skycar will become a widely used unpiloted air-taxi. This is the only known commuter vehicle that can move large numbers of people very quickly and safely and still let them conveniently choose their departure point, departure time and destination."

J.B. Nichols---Boeing Aeronautical Systems Consultant to Henry Lahore:

"Our estimate of Moller's Skycar performance employing these engine pods corroborates Moller's performance estimates. The lack of any evidence of exaggerated claims made for the Skycar vehicle performance is a hopeful sign that the engine performance estimates are equally realistic."

Dr. Dennis Bushnell--Chief Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center:

"The volantor (Skycar) will do for car-based society what the car did for horse-based society. It is the right solution at the right time." He goes on to add, "It is not a question of if but when the market for Moller vehicles will be about $1 trillion a year."

Dr. Bruce Holmes--Manager, General Aviation Office, NASA Langley Research Center:

"Once we have the infrastructure then Moller's Skycar has a place to grow into. Such a system is on the way. Various organizations including NASA, the FAA, the Department of Transportation, individual states and aviation industry groups are developing a small aircraft transportation system."

Dr. John Zuk--Chief, Advanced Plans and Programs, NASA Ames:

"This is extremely significant," says Dr. Zuk. "It's really a breakthrough for the type and concept and it has merits from a cost standpoint that show promise to be a future personal transportation system. It's a true first." Dr. Zuk goes on to say, "Moller is different. He's got academic credentials. He's thorough."

Dr. Daniel Goldin--Recent NASA Director and Administrator, has set down a powerful National General Aviation Vision:

"Enable doorstep-to-destination travel at four times the speed of highways to 25% of the nation's suburban, rural and remote communities in ten years and more than 90% in 25 years."

MSNBC Live Vote Survey- Internet:

"Will you be in the market for a volantor?" Out of 6226 responses: Yes as soon as possible 23%; Yes after the price comes down 47%; Yes after it's proven safe 23%; No never 7%. Investor's Business Daily-- Special Report, "Innovations" "Moller's car might one day fulfill the prophecy of the world depicted in cartoons like the Jetsons in which the breadwinner commutes to work in a flying car." Inc. Magazine--"This is Rocket Science!" "The engine was the key Moller knew, in combining straight up flight with the speed and simplicity of a light plane."

Forbes FYI Magazine--"Are We There Yet?":

"Skycar 'pilots' will simply log on to the tracking system via on-board computers, then stick around for any arising emergency tasks such as deploying the craft's parachutes in the event of a catastrophic power failure."

John Vostrez--Chief, Technical and Research Division, California Dept. of Transportation:

He says Moller's work "goes far beyond the technology we're working on. It makes the technology we're working on look fairly mundane." Vostrez says Moller's idea "is to use the third dimension in a three dimensional space as opposed to just two d:imensional space that we're tied to on the ground. It's really exciting."

Sam Farr--Past Chairman, California Assembly Committee on Economic Development and New Technologies (Now US Congressman and head of the California Congressional Delegation):

Described Moller as: "Currently developing the most exciting transportation vehicle since the car and the airplane."

World News Tonight- Peter Jennings

"A remarkable invention that could someday radically change the way we get to work. Definitely a technology on the cutting edge. A personal flying machine."

Dr. Michael Guillen--Science Editor, ABC's:

"Good Morning America" "Helicopters are VTOL's and so are the British Harrier jets. What Moller has done is invent VTOL's that are cheap and easy to operate."

Jack Kemmerly--Past Chief, Aeronautics Division, California Department of Transportation

Says he is "excited" to see Moller combining an advance in VTOL technology with fly-by-wire control. "If and when that accomplishment takes place--and in my mind I know it will--Paul Moller will have struck gold with a technology that has real applications."

USA Today--Cover story,

"Is Flying Car Model T of the Future?" "One immediate advantage would be safety. The (Skycar) engines have so few moving parts that they should require a fraction of the maintenance of a helicopter. One engine could fail and the Skycar could still hover to a landing. Piloting the Skycar should require less skill than driving a car."

Wall Street Journal--

"Upward Mobility: Fliers Build Own Planes as Industry Falters." "His Skycar is a computer controlled, eight engine vehicle designed to travel on roads, take-off and land vertically, carry four people through the air at 350 miles per hour and sell, once mass production begins, for not much more money than an automobile."

Smithsonian Institution INVENTION Series:

"The Flying Car"-Produced by the Discovery Channel "Paul Moller is unique in this world of complex high technology. He is an independent entrepreneur who still makes his own test flights. It is the people with imagination and the ability to see past the end of their nose that are going to be the ones flying instead of sitting down here in grid-lock on the freeway."

People magazine--

"INVENTORS-Flier Paul Moller is a Former Alien With a Real Flying Saucer" "Wary as any test pilot taking up an experimental craft, the man in the fireproof blue suit kissed his wife before climbing into the cockpit. One by one he started the eight rotary engines, then pushed a small red throttle with his left-hand and a joystick with his right. With that, engines whining, the flying saucer rose 40 feet into the air. He took his volantor on a 150 second spin in Davis."

Henry Ford, Chairman, Ford Motor Company-1940

"Mark my word: A combination airplane and motorcar is coming. You may smile. But it will come..."

Dr. James R. Bright, Author of "Research, Development and Technical Innovation" published 1964

Gives three examples of demand preceding delivery: "A cure for cancer, a cure for heart disease and a practical VTOL aircraft."
