370 miles per hour and will take off and land vertically.``On its first flight, the Skycar will rise to a height of two meters (six feet) or so, hover for one minute and then land, just like a Harrier jump jet,'' the magazine said.``Later flights will be more ambitious. Once the aircraft receives a license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) anyone with a pilot's license will be able to fly one in the U.S.,'' it said.The vehicle, which will be hand-built and cost about $1 million, is the brainchild of Paul Moller, who founded the company. He has been working on the project for 30 years.The car uses two rotary engines and fans placed inside streamlined housings known as nacelles. The fans inside the nacelles create an airflow that generates thrust. Each four-passenger Skycar will have four nacelles to provide the power.``At the rear of each nacelle is a set of vanes that can be angled downwards to generate lift as well as forward thrust,'' the magazine said.Once the design is perfected and mass produced, Moller estimates it could cost about $60,000.``The first Skycars will be fly-by-wire vehicles. In other words, while the pilot tells the craft what to do, a computer will actually do the flying, taking the vehicle's rate of turn, and altitude into account when it responds to instructions,'' the magazine said.Article 1999 Reuters Limited.
