Martian Odyssey Spacecraft Designers Work On Skycar®

Next Generation Vertical Takeoff and Landing Aircraft Manufacturer Teams With Noted NASA Consultants

Davis, California, December 3, 2002: Moller International (OTC-Pink Sheets: MLER) and Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc. (AMA, Inc.) announced today that they have signed an agreement to work together to develop the production version of the Skycar®, Moller International's revolutionary new vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.

The latest Moller M400 Skycar® will incorporate several new features gained from experience with the current prototype and wind tunnel testing that are anticipated to increase fuel economy and make it possible for the aircraft to be driven on city streets to or from a suitable takeoff or landing area. AMA Inc. has been selected to assist Moller International in the optimization of the Skycar's structural and aerodynamic characteristics and to help define large-scale production techniques for the aircraft. AMA, a Hampton, VA firm with offices in California and Alabama, has served the aeronautics community since 1962 providing control systems, mathematical modeling and performance simulations for vehicle design and use. AMA's past performance and technical expertise include systems analysis, conceptual and preliminary design and ground testing definition for a wide range of flight vehicles. Their work has contributed to numerous NASA missions such as the Hyper-X, International Space Station, Mars Precision Lander, Mars Pathfinder, Mars Airplane, Mars Exploration Rover and currently, the Mars Odyssey mission.
