Moller International (OTCBB: MLER) is prepared to begin producing and offering for sale its Jetsons-like M200 volantor. The M200 volantor is a small two passenger saucer shaped aircraft that can take-off and land vertically. It is the size of a small automobile and operates vibration free with little noise. The prototype M200X has completed over two hundred flights with and without a pilot on board. Those who have flown the M200 describe it as a truly "magic carpet" experience. It can be seen flying at HYPERLINK "http://www.moller.com/videom200x.htm" http://www.moller.com/videom200x.htm .

The M200 volantor will initially be available in those models that do not require FAA certification, which include:

Piloted or unmanned military vehicle for a variety of tasks (M200R or M200M)

Experimental or kit built FAA category (M200E)

The M200's airframe is hard tooled with the capability of producing one per day. Moller International is interested in working with strategic partners or individuals who have an interest in production and distribution of the M200 volantor as well as its spin-off technologies such as its Rotapower engine, Rotafan ducted fan, artificial stability system and the M400 Skycar.

Someone wishing to purchase a M200 volantor may reserve a delivery position by making a refundable escrowed deposit.

Prices are dependent upon the final production volume but are expected to range from $125,000 for the M200G model to $450,000 for the Firefly model.
