Looks like these guys had a special lightweight four-stroke engine

built

just for this application. We need a rotary alternative!

Maybe Doug could look into this and see if they are for real.
What ever happened to the rotary powered surfboard? Another Nevada

corporation :)

  Hi Perry, I will check into it for ya. LOL. Nevada is kind of like

Florida. It is

easy to hide a corporation in the paperwork  for taxes. I will hunt and

report

back to you soon as I get back. I am on the road till Sunday.

    I can't say for sure, but this "airscooter" certainly looks like one of
the experimentals featured on 60 Minutes last Sunday evening at 6:00 PM CST.
It did fly, and rather well I might add.  The 15 minute segment of 60
Minutes was advertised in the EAA online bulletin that comes out once a
week.  Unlike Moeller's Skycar which was still tethered to the ground and
attached to an overhead crane, the aircraft that appears to be the
airscooter took off into the wild blue.  Apparently it's pretty easy to fly
too, because they tethered it down and let the newsman take a shot at flying
it, and after just a few wobbly tries, he had it hovering.  --  And that's
not bad on rotorcraft!
