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.
Advantages of the Skyliner Over Electric Aircraft
Self-generating solar electric power eliminates the need to land to recharge or replace batteries.
Vertical take-off and landing can utilize any relatively flat surface with sufficient space, even water.
Vacuum lift will reduce the power necessary for take-off and landing.
Unlimited range regardless of size.
Reduced landing fees make 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.
Advantages of the Skyliner Over Traditional Airships
Vacuum vessels eliminate the need for helium or hydrogen for lift.
Eliminates fuel costs.
Unlimited range regardless of size.
Ability to land on any relatively flat surface with sufficient space, even water.
Vacuum vessels allow a more aerodynamic design providing increased speeds comparable to conventional aircraft.
