Scalability Is Our Key To Success

Scalability of an aircraft is often times it's key to commercial success. The technology of the Ikeler4000 is such that from the first four passenger model, we can immediately follow with an eight passenger model, the Ikeler8000. From there even bus sized models, the I80, will be created because of the compactness of the wing retraction mechanism. During our initial test marketing, we were contacted by a representative from FedEx who wanted to know more about our aircraft and the uses it could employ. We told them of the scalability of our aircraft too and FedEx saw these vehicles as the next generation of their delivery trucks.
Other attempts at creating flying cars have lacked scalability, and most have been just two passenger disassembling roadable aircraft. Two passenger vehicles have a very small market and if that, combined with having to take the aircraft apart and put it back together again is all you're getting, the vehicle will not likely succeed. The best example of this is Molt Taylor's aircar that trailered it's wings and tail behind it after your spent quite a bit of time with your team taking them off. Also, utility is essential. If a vehicle can only carry two people, the family can't go and neither can your golf clubs. Not much fun there.
We also had inquiries from car dealerships around the country and in Canada wanting to be the first dealers of this new type of automobile. Corporate offers came in from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Porsche Motor Cars to purchase, license, or co-develop the technology into all of it's uses. The corporations wanted to much ownership though, as we would only consider alliances for developing and licensing of the aircraft. The Department of Defense has also met with us twice to consider advanced military versions of the aircraft being developed. They think extremely far ahead and were looking to create a self-flying version of it that could even be remotely operated. All doors are open as we move forward to bring this incredible new capability for travel to everyone.
