I want to get a flying saucer!


Flying Saucers Go Into Production

Updated: 21:52, Thursday August 02, 2007

A flying saucer that glides three metres off the ground and carries two passengers has gone into commerical production.

US company Moller International has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.

The M200G is the size of a small car and is designed to take off and land vertically.

The flying saucer is designed to fly at an altitude of up to three metres, where it benefits from extra lift created by a cushion of air - known as ground effect.

This allows the M200G to glide over terrain at 50mph, powered by eight of the Company's Rotapower rotary engines.

This is the one invention I have been waiting for!
