The drive for taxiing on a runway and the liftoff is provided by 18 electrical powered rotors. It reminds me of Moller International‘s Skycar®
aircraft. About 30 years ago, the founder Paul S. Moller was a crank
for his competitors. But these guys are silent know. Paul is right referring to the quote on his company website: “New Technology goes through three stages: First it is ridiculed by those ignorant of its potential; Next, it is subverted by those threatened by its potential; Finally, it is considered self-evident.” That it is. All the Mollers, Wolframs or Smolins and their investors in the world can tell you a thing or two about it.
Today, Moller International is a public company (OTC-QB: MLER), and I hope the Syntern GmbH in Karlsruhe will follow a similarly successful path.
