look here for a reply by Dr Moller himself

Well, somebody else asked pretty much the same questions I asked, with pretty much the same logic. I did not find Dr. Moller's responses to be all that informative.

Unless that Aircar shape is somehow generating enormously more aerodynamic lift than it would appear in the picture, I remain skeptical. His claim that "...At 25,000 ft. the thrust required for optimum cruise speed is only 66 lbs. from each nacelle..." would imply that he is generating more than 2100 lbs of aerodynamic lift in some very thin air.

But, who am I to argue? Dr. Moller is an aeronautical engineer. I'm a guy with a (non-current) pilots license looking at a picture of an airplane. I have to think that, unless this is a total fake designed only to defraud investors (and please note I am not saying that is the case), he certainly knows more about aircraft design than I ever will.
