90,000$ for your own little UFO!

By Ben Tremblay

Sky News has an old but interesting and funny article on a company about to commercialize flying saucers:

US company Moller International has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.

The M200G is the size of a small car and is designed to take off and land vertically.

Company founder Dr Paul Moller calls the craft “the ultimate off-road vehicle” as it is able to travel over any surface.

“It’s not a hovercraft, although its operation is just as easy,” said the aeronautical engineering boffin.

“You can speed over rocks, swampland, fences, or log-infested waterways with ease because you’re not limited by the surface.”

You can read the article there:

I must admit the whole thing sounds like a scam, but the article wasn’t released on April 1st and Sky News is not a small news network. You can also visit the company’s website: Moller.
