Pushing Development
Just read your Editor’s Note in the July issue (page 4) entitled "Aircraft for Everyone." I am creating a nonprofit organization, Skyaid, to save 100,000 lives per year, which will be using "aircraft for everyone."

I realize that conventional wisdom says that new aircraft designs will not be available for 20 to 25 years. The Skyaid organization will be pushing the technology development so as to save lives with new aircraft by 2005.

By the way, I have been on the technical advisory board for Moller International for most of the past decade, while working at Boeing.

Our Website, www.skyaid.org, has lots of details.

Response in their magazine
A visit to the Skyaid Website indicates that the organization was set up to develop "rapid emergency response," primarily for victims of heart attacks, strokes, fires and accidents. Moller International is a California-based company that developed a concept for a personalized air vehicle. —Editor
