"Remote control commands are provided via a set of computer consoles and connected via hardwire umbilical cable to the aircraft. The controller (pilot) provides input commands to the onboard computers to control the altitude and orientation of the Skycar during a flight. The umbilical line is approximately 300 feet in length, although the aircraft has been flown only to an altitude of approximately 40 feet. The onboard computer systems provide instructions to the engines via a “fly-by-wire” system designed exclusively for this one-of-a-kind aircraft. Feedback from the onboard systems is provided to the command consoles and provides detailed diagnostic and real-time flight condition information to the ground crew. Although the Skycar® prototype was designed for an onboard pilot and is equipped with cockpit-mounted controls, it has been flown only unmanned using the remote controls. Two command consoles and a third system used to remotely set Engine Computer Units (ECU) parameters are included in the sale of the prototype M400."
