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

"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."

"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. My impressions completely changed after I interfaced with him," Says Zuk. "We’re in an era of large companies, so it’s great to see a man like him doing what he’s doing."

Traffic capacity "demand is going up something like six percent a year." 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 dimensional space that we’re tied to on the ground. It’s really exciting. I think it’s going to do a lot to the psychology of the changes that need to be made in the (transportation) system."

Sam Farr—Past Chairman, California Assembly Committee on Economic Development and New Technologies (Now US Congressman)

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

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."

The following is taken from their investment recommendations for the 1990’s. "The break-down of public transportation infrastructure may drive new growth industries. New technology will allow people to side step many of the consequences of traffic jams on public thoroughfares. Aeronautics engineer Paul Moller’s flying car could allow four people to cruise at 322 miles per hour without traveling on the roads at all. It could take-off and land vertically."

Henry Lahore—Project leader of an extensive Skycar study undertaken by Boeing Aircraft

"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."

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."

"But the future of personal aviation looks much different to Paul Moller, a former professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of California at Davis. He has spent 25 years and $30 million developing his Skycar, 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."

Taipan—a monthly subscription newsletter that provides investment advice

"Three years ago, Taipan introduced you to an entrepreneur whose ideas will revolutionize road air traffic. In fact, we believe that future U.S. presidential campaigns will feature slogans like ‘An Aircraft in Every Garage.’ Paul Moller is the inventor of a radically different type of aircraft that may just turn out to be the commuter vehicle of the next century. He calls his invention a ‘volantor’ (from the Latin word volare, meaning ‘to fly’). It combines the vertical take-off and hovering capabilities of a helicopter with the speed and range of a traditional airplane."

American Heritage Dictionary—published by Houghton and Mifflin (being considered for inclusion)

Skycar (noun) a lightweight one to four-passenger car sized (VTOL) aircraft meant for commuting.

Smithsonian Institution—Series on INVENTION: "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…"

Popular Mechanics—Cover story- "SKYCAR"

"It is 1999. You can leave for work a little later than you did just a few years ago because you own a Moller 400 volantor"

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

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