Moller 200X
Hi
I worked at Moller during the time just before the 200X (then the XM-4) flew for the first time. The vehicle is over 30 years old. The machine develops about 400 HP, and consumes about 32 gallons of fuel per hour. Here's some math to show you the outlandish nature of his claims:
Lets be REAL charitable and allow that it might only need 200 HP in ground effect, so thats a burn rate of 16 gallons per hour. At 45 miles per gallon, you would be going 720 miles per hour. Thats about 150 mph faster than a jet airliner, flying in the thin stuff at 36,000 feet.
Hope I didn't burst anybody's bubble...
