| Description |
Of all the VTOL machines, the Moller M200G is one of the most remarkable. First of all, it has the look of a flying saucer. Secondly, it uses eight ducted fans for lift and forward propulsion. The M200G always operates in ground effect, artificially limiting its service ceiling to no more than 10 feet. In this way, it is not a flying machine from a regulation point of view. Accordingly, a pilot’s licence is not required. The M200G is not intended for use in urban areas.
The M200G was designed by the Canadian aeronautics engineer Paul Moller, who was passionate about machines capable of vertical flight from childhood. In his youth, Moller started with a helicopter design, but was soon to discover that these machines were far too complicated and difficult to fly for his dream to come true. Instead, Moller envisaged a VTOL machine that started the evolution of the car into a flying machine.
The M200G was the first materialization of this dream. Moller has now been working for more than 40 years on his VTOL machines, but to date, none have been delivered yet (2012).
Moller is now working on the Skycar M400.
