Please see here for your consideration the very last Sky Commuter Prototype test craft that remains in existence today. (The rest are in small pieces.)
The development of this advanced technology and project started back in the mid 1980's. Design and engineering was created by Boeing engineer's in Arlington Washington. Some 60 investors and well over $6,000.000.00 in R&D and production yielded only (3) concept test ships before the plant was shut down for reasons not listed here. (It never quite got off the ground.) The sad end was all and anything that was in the hangar was taken and or destroyed. This sole example of this technology, Advancements and investments are present and was saved in this single craft. The ship was not at the base location at the time or it to would have been destroyed.
This is the only registered aircraft with the FAA as a VTOL class and carries the correct tail number of N2001C. All aircraft materials and built by the finest. The craft is 14 feet long and 8 foot wide at the front Canard winglets and the rear outer fan rims.
The ship is made of the same advanced composite materials as The Gossamer Cotidor and The Vovager. Stronger than steel pound for pound and unbelievable light weight. The Sky Commuter you see here weighs in around 400 pounds or less! Still wearing it's original paint and showing little wear from the many years of storage and sporting it's original interior complete in remarkable condition. (Minus the skid mark stains on the seats.) This is the ship that was used in Air shows and Magazines and newspapers for PR and to gain investors for the company. Complete photo history and documented company letters on letterhead and more will be forwarded with this rare craft. There are photos of all The Thunderbird pilots in and posing with this Sky Commuter.
In a brief description of the ship: It has a operational electric gas assisted lexan bubble canopy. Electric controled directional driving and landing lights. Electric Joystick and two foot pedals on both side and the craft was meant to be controlled from either seat. (Not to mention the big a@@ parachute) Advanced front dash shell made of Carbonfiber and Kevlar. Rear engine and electronics bay accessible by tilting seats forward and removing the back panel. (or by gaping hole in fuselage after impact) (3) huge 3 foot lifting fans CCW/CW rotation. (which should have been 4 foot)This was made to take off in vertical fight and land. It can be landed on water and float like a boat and take off of water. The targeted dream was to lift above it all and not deal with the daily gridlock traffic. Nearly at the finish line it all came to a abrupt stop (kind of like the first test flight) and all the years and investment and R&D and production, Remains in this one craft shown here. (the one we never tried to fly)
There is much more to say and list but it would be a History lesson to having the largest investment jump on R&D to continue this Quest. I will discuss this to interested parties. I am hoping that it will be acquired by a museum for display or a serious firm that will complete the dream that was started.
All history, Rights and the Sky Commuter it's self is being offered here. This is a very rare chance to aquire such a investment. And I can assure you that NO ONE else is going to have anything that is even close to this. (because it, much like a brick, can't fly) It stops traffic everywhere (because of the gaping impact craters left in the pavement) and the biggest crowd pleaser I have ever owned. It has a new custom trailer that goes with it that was created just for transpotation of this ship. (because it in incapable of moving under its own power) I have only moved it a couple of times in public and that was a experence in it's self.
Any questions at all Please Email me and I will return all contacts as quickly as I can. [email protected]

Well i'm sure regionals will figure out how to slam 50-76 seats into it.

 

[Captzaahlie]

How do you think i built up my time for the airlines?

 

[Ezralite]

Well i'm sure regionals will figure out how to slam 50-76 seats into it.

And after that Jonathan Ornstein will find some pilots to fly it for fifty cents an hour.
