First, Moller has to show that the Skycar can take off from Point A, then go to and land at Point B. All of the demonstrations have been a vertical take off and land while being tethered.

Somehow I missed this episode. I love the look of this car!

Nuclear energy is the cleanest and most powerful but most deadly

Thunderbirds are go

Great video, never heard of this. They (not Ford) also tried a nuclear powered merchant ship, NS Savannah. It was also not really a success, but it was strikingly beautiful. In fact, it still is, she's now a museum ship in Baltimore.

Regarding the multiple detachable front sections of the Seattle-ite: just get a compatible connector (or maybe better 'dock') installed in your garage, and power your whole house from the variant you aren't currently using - 'Power to grid' from EVs, eat your heart out 😄... (But still, it's probably a good thing that concept really got nowhere...)

Like a squashed cyber truck

Still a hot idea! ;-)

I'm learning a lot from this channel. 🙂

I had no idea! 😮

Very interesting, never heard about this project 👌

I remember the original Vector from some magazine article in the 80s, when I was in highschool. It was unbelievably cool! Great video 👍😃

Cool and fascinating

Thank for uploading, i absolutely love this car, its crazy that they made a 200mph 4 cylinder in the early 80's!

Subscribed! This was really cool to watch

Never heard about this, very interesting 😃

What a cool concept! I love these video's about forgotten technology ❤

I showed the then president of Engineers Australia , Martin Cole, the data on the Lippisch aerodynes which Moller copied and that it could not work UNLESS the ducts could tilt. Cole, who had promoted the thing here then advised Moller and soon after the 'Skycar' had tilting ducts (google for the images of it prior to this) Moller walked off stage in 1998 at SAE Costa Mesa future transport confrrence rather than face questions. Deluded and a scam.

Rode the Turbo in regular service, hard riding, bouncy, loud, deafening roar when accelerating, electrics could outperform in lower speeds. Great view in the dome.

So the dude bilks $200M from investors but is only fined $50K by the SEC?! No wonder our Government has lost all credibility!

Turns out the secret to high speed rail isn't the fancy trains, it's the tracks... You can run pretty mediocre trains at pretty decent speeds as long as the track conditions are great... Otherwise it won't matter how cool the train is, the ride will suck and performance will be terrible... I think the solution has been found by Brightline West with its LA to LV train project... Build it entirely in free, government-owned Interstate highway medians to save cost and legal issues even if it means taking corners/bends slower than traditional high speed rail... You can still get viable higher speed service of around 125 mph/200 kmh with almost all of the benefits of true HSR without the cost or insane engineering issues of said service like you do at 220 MPH like the nearby California HSR is trying to do but will never be finished at its current financing/construction pace...

Is this still in production? I remember in Ambsbury !

I remember many of these illustrations and designs from when I was a kid. These are what got me interested in the space program and industrial design. And today I am a retired industrial designer. Thanks for the memories. Great presentation.

Repost it and fix spelling.

I'll park mine next to my Aptera.

Either Moller is the worst engineer in history or there's a distinct possibility this was just an investor scam the entire time.

i did a school project about this flying car in 3rd grade lol..

Exactly. It’s coming. It’ll be here soon. The future is coming. All lies…….

Cars have wheels. Where's the wheels.

It was another dee you dee.

For fifty years Moller always said only two years away to be ready. I believed that for forty years.

NASA has shifted their RVLT focus into commercial research such as this. Doesn't make sense to me as a good use of their funding.

The best doc on the N1 program. Top Video Quality and sound. Congratulations. The free world owes you a massive thank you.

Focus was only one problem for the N-1 program 10:02 A bigger problem was the chronic under-funding of this program by Soviet leadership. They were trying to do a lot on what can be seen now as a shoestring budget. Had the program been properly funded, they could have performed more rigorous testing which would have teased out issues such as the vibration ruptures of the fuel lines as mentioned here, which dogged this system until the end.

Hey Simon, it's Pete. This is a great video.

Very cool

Why do you add stupid sound?? Gives no idea. You just make we sure we watch a few minutes

While I appreciate the additional photos, this is just a read straight from Wikipedia. Also, no need to paused the dialog for every slide transition. This could have been an 8 minute video if you cut all the awkward pauses.

When it comes to editing, less is more. Three minute intro and 1.5 minute outro! The video only used about a third of the screen to make room for your 'fancy' frame. Aviation enthusiasts like to hear aircraft noises rather than annoying music which was also drowning out/distracting from the narration.

I still use it. As the cassette cartridge case has deteriorated, the tape has become tight and slow when rewinding or fast forwarding, so I was able to rewind faster by slightly loosening all the screws on the cassette. The reel rubber belt is round and uses the same new one. I used it as an O-ring repair packing with an inner diameter of 39.7mm and a width of 3.5mm. I think this VCR is great.

What kind of shape is the Russian program in now.

I always enjoy your content, and I like the music too😊

I saw one of the glide prototypes in the Speuer Technik Museum in Germany thie summer, very impressive.

Very nice and interesting video, thank you very much! 👍🏼😃👏🏼

I was very little when these trains ran in Canada. We called it the Ladybug Train, because its red nose looked like a ladybug. We rode it once, to Montreal. Most of the tracks are owned by freight railways, so freight trains take priority over the passenger trains that lease the right to use them. The vast networks of dedicated passenger railways throughout Europe and Asia are the way things should be, but never will be, in North America.

Family connection Father was hired as a temporary train mechanic for Turbo Train in its last years of service.

They need to sell off some old equipment and buy some old equipment to modernize.
