The Skycar demonstrated limited tethered flight capability in 2003. More tethered flight tests are now scheduled for an undisclosed date sometime after mid 2006. Moller is currently upgrading the Skycar’s engines, and the improved prototype is now called the “M400X”. Additional flight tests will supposedly be conducted once Moller engineers have completed the upgrades to the Skycar’s nacelles with the larger engines (projected for 2007)
