"  Flying-car enthusiasts may have to wait a little longer to purchase a production vehicle capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Moller International, maker of the M400 Skycar and M200G saucer, this week reported that company debt rose to $40.6 million after a loss of more than $80,000 during the last quarter. A prototype of the M400 with a $3.5 million price tag was included in this year&amp;#039;s Neiman Marcus holiday catalogue, but production versions do not currently exist. PM reported on the Skycar in 1991 after inventor and University of California professor Paul Moller demonstrated a saucer-shaped vehicle capable of vertical takeoff and landing. His next project was the creation of a &amp;quot;practical transportation vehicle of the air,&amp;quot; PM reported in its January issue. &amp;quot;A custom-designed Wankel rotary engine is one reason why Moller may succeed where others have not. It provides the power-to-weight ration vertical takeoff demands, yet is inexpensive to produce,&amp;quot; PM wrote. Design specifications included a four-person cabin, top speed of 420 mph and eight 1.3 liter, 150-hp engines. Moller estimated production of several thousand Skycars a year would begin by 1995. \u2014Emily Masamitsu REPORT CARD: 3 Flying Cars Coming SoonRESIDENT ROBOTICIST: Where&amp;#039;s My Flying Car?PLUS: Browse More Classic PM Covers!
