Paul,
Has anyone else sent you this article from Aero-News?
They don't say what type of rotary engines are used. This sounds like
another Moller!

 Milner Flying Car Latest Attempt To Meld The Road With The Air

   Will Debut At The New York International Auto Show

     by ANN Managing Editor (And Resident Motorhead) Rob Finfrock

Let's face it -- in most "serious" aviation circles, the idea of a
flying car is met with raised eyebrows, at best -- and at worst,
outright disdain. There's arguably fair precedent for those attitudes,
given the less-than-stellar proposals to date... from flying Ford
Pintos, to the still resolutely-earthbound Moller concepts.

But there are signs of life, and innovation, in this segment. *ANN
reported in 2006 on the Terrafugia*

a "roadable aircraft" now under development... and while we're still
skeptics, most ANN'ers are also quite willing to be proven wrong.

It was with a similar, measured /"hmmm..."/ I read recently of the
latest flying-car concept, to be formally unveiled later this month at
the prestigious New York International Auto Show. Developed by Jim
Milner, the Milner Motors AirCar is billed as a four-seat
advanced-composite car that you can fly to your destination, fold up the
wings and drive it down the highway.

The Aircar features a foldable main wing in the rear of the vehicle and
a canard lifting surface in the front. For trips up to 1,000 miles, the
AirCar will provide the fastest door-to-door travel times possible,
according to Milner

When airborne, the 28-ft wingspan, 3,000 lb. maximum weight AirCar will
cruise at 200 mph for up to 1,000-miles, according to the company. Power
comes from two rotary engines that drive dual 28-inch pusher ducted fans.

Once on the ground, the wings fold to 7-ft wide, and a separate 40-hp
engine powers the car up to 85 mph. The initial prototype is non-flying
but driveable, and demonstrates it is possible to design and build a car
that not only flies, but is also an airplane strong enough to drive on
public roads.

As a flight instructor, airline pilot, and successful entrepreneur, with
over 35 years in the aviation industry, Milner believes he is
well-positioned to deliver on the promise of bringing a flying car to
market.

Utter nonsense.
No airplane or car pushed or pulled by a ducted fan will go 200 MPH.
That is why the Moller Sky Car has never gone beyond hover.
