“The M400 is a flying car that promises to let you take off from your backyard and fly to your destination at 350 mph, ignoring, if not gazing condescendingly upon, land-bound commuters stuck in traffic below,” reads the March 2000 Popular Science cover story on the Moller M400 Skycar. And, really, that sums up the undying, albeit foolish, desire to build a flying car. It’s not that we want to hit 88 mph and travel into the future to grab a copy of Grays Sports Almanac (although that would be awesome). We just want, for once in our lives, to beat traffic by soaring from point A to point B in style.
The Moller M400 Skycar is for Sale on eBay
Key Takeaways:
- The Moller M400 Skycar, a prototype from a 50-year development project aimed at creating a flying car, was recently put up for auction.
- Initially listed on eBay for $1 million (or $5 million "Buy It Now"), the prototype received no bidders and was subsequently relisted with a lower starting bid of $250,000.
- A significant caveat for potential buyers is that the M400 is not yet an FAA-approved, functional flying car and would require further development to achieve this status.
