http://news.aol.com/story/_a/company-now-sells-real-flying-saucers/200708031... This looks remarkably like the saucer that a fellow in North Salt Lake was developing a decade or two ago, I wonder if the projects are related? I'm rather partial to rotary engines as some of you know, so this caught my eye- until I read the 40-gallon-per-hour fuel consumption rate! And rotaries (even the small ones) must use high-octane fuel to prevent pre-detonation, which can blow out the spark plugs and apex seals (that's instant total power loss in a rotary engine). That's $120+ per hour to operate, at best! I think the time of the flying saucer is still a ways off, though the military, search-and-rescue, and science may find it usefull. The small airship is still much more ecconomical however, and has a smaller environmental footprint.
