Prototypes. The most practical are light plane knockoffs, Others, like the Moller, aren't. But maybe not practical.

And there in lies the rub. The light plane knockoffs are cumbersome on the ground. Many pull a trailer. The Moller doesn't. But it isn't clear if it has even gotten above ground effect, much less flown untethered.

There are a couple of companies promising something in the next few years that are closer to the Moller than a light plane. No doubt they will be promising something in the next few years a few years from now.
