Advantages of the Skyliner
Over Conventional Aircraft
- Self-generating solar electric power reduces greenhouse gas emissions to zero.
- Eliminates fuel costs.
- Unlimited range regardless of size.
- Vertical take-off and landing can utilize any relatively flat surface with sufficient space, even water.
- Reduces purchase or lease costs.
- Reduces aircraft noise, especially near airports and flight paths.
- Reduces maintenance costs as electric motors require less maintenance and less frequent replacement of parts and fluids than required by internal combustion engines.
- Reduces landing fees and makes small landing fields at existing local community airports or other established facilities more accessible.
- Reduces congestion at major airports by allowing use of smaller airports near large metro areas without increasing facilities.
- Expands availability of air transportation to small communities without the need for major infrastructure costs.
