A rotary engine is the essence of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) personal aircraft known as the Moller Skycar M400. It is a flying car known as a personal air vehicle (PAV) and it is expected to make its first untethered flight in 2020. The PAV has been under development for 30 years at a total cost of $100 million.
