The hidden agenda is that there is nothing new in the Moeller stuff. Lots of little fans at high disk loading moving air. Little risk, really, but enormous power requirements, enormous fuel bill, and lots of maintenance. It is likely that a Moeller air car would take 4 times the power of a helicopter with similar payload.

No great advancement there, just a guy who can sell the concept to folks who have no idea what questions to ask.
