July 13, 1999: The Moller Skycar - Dr. Paul Moller

Dr. Paul Moller describes the long development of the Moller Skycar, a vertical-takeoff vehicle intended to make point-to-point personal flight practical.

Art Bell asks about propulsion, stability, computer control, safety, noise, cost, certification, and the infrastructure required for widespread use. Moller explains the engineering tradeoffs and why automated guidance would be central to putting non-pilots in the air.
