Good luck, Stan

Hi Zack, the flying motorcycle has been around for several years. Go the www.thebutterflyllc.com to see the super sky cycle.
I am looking for rotary aircraft engines that can be stacked on a single drive shaft to be operated in the vertical and horizontal for a VTOL aircraft.
The vertical operation would average 30...
Hi Frank, it is not a flying car and stupidity is a self correcting process. In the future personal vehicles will be impractical in a high density area where mass transit is much more efficient and...
Yes, the P-51.
Hi Ron, the optimum cruise altitude for longer distances is FL250. The optimum flight path would be an arc depending on the distance traveled. I will not have a website until I find out about DARPA...
The prototype using the inefficient two pt6a-20 turbines will get 8.26mpg at 475mph cruise for 2958 sm. Using proposed rotary engines burning natural gas the aircraft will get 15 mpg at 475 mph....
Hi Joe, yes cars will eventually " go away " as the primary mode of transportation just as the horse and carriage did when Ford made them obsolete in 1914. The environmental and cost benefit in...
[Although my airplane is at the house, I can't taxi/drive/fly it to the store for milk. ;ob....... You guys are great. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Hi Ron, my Verticraft is designed to go to the store or...
Everyone knows that the automobile will eventually become obsolete for primary transportation, the only question is when. It is my contention that the aircraft is the obvious replacement for the...
Texting while on autopilot is safe but as Dana pointed out might not be legal or enforceable.
If their is a doubt about the weather or conditions on your route or destination ask yourself if it is worth dying to make the trip.
Take a look at Horizon hobby UMX hyper taxi with the new AS3X system for flight practice with easy landing. I have a patent pending on a full scale 4 to 6 passenger version.
Good luck, Stan
As an airline pilot flying the B-777 at the time, my flying changed drastically. The incident eliminated anymore successful hijackings. Previously the hijackers could threaten to kill someone in...
Hi Hal, thanks for the video. It reminded me of a Blue Angel practice session where I flew a journalist in an F-4J chase plane that we used for static display for him to get pictures but he spent...
Hi John, my design solves all of the issues described in the article. The aircraft will be easier to land than any current aircraft. Today's technology makes all other issues easily solved. The major...
Hi John, it is a modern day version of POGO shown in the following you tube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh9dhBJY010
Hi John, I want to mention that the Verticraft is not a flying car but it makes them obsolete because they still need a runway and the whole point is to stay off of the highways and eliminate rush...
Thanks, Chad. If you run across any builders that think they have the capability to build the prototype and or investors that would be interested in participating in the PAV version. Please contact...
You make very good points on the challenges of future air transportation. It will be a slow transformation as ground transportation gridlock and cost of infrastructure repair will force a transition...
The initial Verticraft would not be mass produced and compete with the current aircraft market. Only when the demand for the aircraft becomes high enough can the aircraft be mass produced. Henry Ford...
I was in Congressman Bob Dornan's office when he got a phone call from you about being grounded from flying an airshow by some incompetent FAA inspector. Congressman Dornan went ballistic and was

Hi Matt, I envision the fully automated system would be required only when everyone had one, and only when flying into a very high density population area. Until then I agree with you totally that I...
Hi Kyle, fully automated means that the autopilots(3) for redundancy just as I had in the B-777, have the ability to fly the aircraft in all flight modes mainly for very high density traffic areas....
I was answering your question about what killed general aviation. Affordability is the answer and mass production is the solution. The auto is obsolete but its replacement can only be successful if...
