Flying at an average speed of 300 mph, it will get 20 miles to the gallon. In demonstrations, various Rotapower engines have run on unleaded gasoline, diesel, and natural gas. Computer-controlled movable vanes , like those on a Harrier jump jet, deflect the airflow from the fans to change flight direction. The vanes also enable the Skycar to hover. In case of emergency, two parachutes will carry the ballistically ejected pilot and passenger gently to earth.
Dual touchscreens provide information, including engine rpm and temperature.
The run-time indicator keeps tabs on how long you've been flying. Toggle switches allow manual control of the engines, fuel pumps, and compressors. Inc. All rights reserved.
