There are ... flying saucers

Right now, for only $ 90,000, you will be entitled to own a true flying saucer. Except for taking you to Venus, this U-shaped glider can lift you up to no more than 3 meters.

The M200G, manufactured by Moller International, California, is powered by eight small but powerful rotary motors.

Moller explained that the glider could carry up to 113 kilograms of weight and be balanced through the computer system. The driver will use a joystick to steer and adjust the height with a lever. The maximum height of 3 meters is assumed by the computer system. In fact, it can fly higher, but it will require a pilot license.

In addition to using gas, the glider's engine system can use a mixture of ethanol and water, producing very little waste. The most disadvantage is the fuel consumption. With a top speed of 80 km / h, it can fly for about an hour, and consumes 150 liters of fuel.

The car also produces 85 dexibel noise, and is expected to be fitted with silencers that will reduce the noise to 65 dexibels.

The company plans to build six models in the next 12 months, and then produce about 40 units in the next 12 months. The following year it will raise output to 200 or 250 units. The $ 90,000 price does not include options such as airbags or radios.
