HobbySpacer writes "A SoloTrek video shows a recent tethered hover test of the one person VTOL vehicle.The company has DARPA and NASA support and has
carried out a number of sucessful wind tunnel
and power tests.
Meanwhile, the
CarterCopter RotorWing demonstrator may
soon show for the first time that a vehicle with a rotor can safely achieve very high airspeeds (e.g.400-500 mph) where the
tip speed is actually slower than the vehicle speed. This has been a great
project to follow since they are so open and honest about the
various
problems and fixes during the development.
Just wish Moller
was as transparent about the Skycar.
At least a video
and some images
were recently posted showing the nose of the craft lifting off
under its own power."
