- Reply: Very remotely related, but could be posted at Directory:Lighting
- http://www.airscooter.com/ and http://www.innovator.mosquito.net.nz/ - ultralight helicopters do not require a pilot's license.
- Reply: Our focus is on the technoogy, not the politics. So the "air scooter" would belong on the pneumatic directory page; not sure if th eother one belongs. We want to focus on cutting edge energy technologies that will/could make a profound difference.
Since these machines cost the same as a car (under US $20,000) (http://www.gizmag.com/go/4628/) and are available to the masses (no pilot license), what kind of gas mileage might they get compared to a car? I found another site http://www.pal-v.com/ with a similar machine that is said to get 30km/litre @ 100 km/h (http://www.gizmag.com/go/3323/2/). That is equal to 70 mpg in American gallons or 85 mpg in Imperial gallons. Combine that with being able to bypass traffic jams, and you're looking at a huge reduction in energy consumption if it catches on. The product at http://www.pal-v.com/ can also drive on the road with the rotor blades folded in. In that regard it could be listed at Directory:Fuel_Efficiency_Vehicles, but I don't know what the mileage is on land. I think these flying machines are as noteworthy as Directory:Aeroscraft and more worthy than the Moller Skycar which you have at http://freeenergynews.com/Directory/Transportation/index.html . I just think there should be some sort of directory for flight or aviation. --John Q. Public 19:40, 25 Oct 2006 (EDT)
Correction: That mileage is for land travel. I found it on the Product (http://www.pal-v.com/index2.php?page=product) page. --John Q. Public 00:42, 3 Nov 2006 (EST)
