The Banker's Daughter and A Whole New Way

So the dream is to be set up for a date with the banker's daughter right? Well, I had just that good fortune only a few years ago. And it was the banker himself who set me up for the date.

Steve Baltz is the president and owner of First United Banks in Colorado. I met him as I was doing some refinancing for the aircraft, and since the deal was for over a million dollars, he wanted to meet me and see the Ikeler4000 as well. After I met with him, he made a call to his daughter, Kim Baltz, who is a lawyer and was vice president of their downtown Denver location. He was telling her what a great guy I was, how I liked cats, and even specialized in them, and how we ought to get together. Within a few days, Kim was calling me for a lunch date.

I met her at her office and we went to The Broker for lunch, and she even paid! She was very analytical about our lunch date and ran it like a deposition. She was friendly and nice, but I really didn't know whether or not she liked me. We had a good two hours together and I was hoping we might even set up a second date. She showed me around her bank and showed me the historic elements of that location and how big and heavy the giant safe door is. I enjoyed being with her and it was a fun and interesting first date.

She too had wanted to see my aircraft, so I brought along illustrations of it and at the end of our date I took time to show her. She liked it and everything, but I noticed a certain anxiety coming over her as she thought about it. She concluded our lunch date, summed up the aircraft and bid fairwell to me with saying, "That's great Dr. Ikeler, you have just invented a Whole New Way To Rob A Bank!"

Amelia Earhart Movie

I enjoyed seeing the movie about Amelia Earhart yesterday, starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere. The movie falls into the class of B movies and is somewhat slow and boring. That's why it is only showing in independent film theaters. It is historically accurate though and does tell of the contributions of Amelia Earhart to aviation.

The sad part of the movie is her loss at the end. This movie is like Titanic in that you know what the ending is going to be, but you hope for an interesting story until you get there. The reason why Amelia died was the method of navigation they used to cross the Pacific Ocean. It's ironically called "Dead Reckoning" and you can see why. This method of navigation uses compass direction, air speed, wind speed, and computation to get you to your destination.

The other method of navigation is called "Pilotage." It is flying by using ground references to guide you to your destination, which isn't of any use over the open ocean. Most flying today uses a combination of both and also much more sophisticated devices like GPS, Loran, and DME devices. Navigation in 1937 was pretty risky. Amelia certainly had the airplane and piloting skills to circle the globe, but the radios and star nav systems were woefully inadequate for the task.

Amelia also started the 99's, which is the women's flying organization in the United States today. The husbands of the 99's are called 49 and 1/2's. I asked a woman in the 99's if men can join the club. She said "no" and was quite adamant about the fact that it is only for women. Why then can husbands be members?

I think Amelia Earhart made her identity in aviation because her name literally says "Air Heart." Her heart was in the air, just like many people with the last name of Carpenter become carpenters as a profession. I know a young lady named Zoe Loomis that is looking to get a PhD in zoology too. I told her it was because she is looking to find herself there in Zoe-ology. I am surprised at how often these name analogies go unnoticed by the people who are so affected, even in the formation of their identity, by these nomenclature forces.

The movie showed Amelia's other romance too that existed while she was married. I wonder if that was part of the publicity back then, or if they were truly more tolerant of infidelity. Amelia's husband, Putnam, was a professional publicist, and these record breaking stunts had as much to do with making money as they did with creating aviation achievements. At least they were honest about that in the movie.

We honor Amelia Earhart today and for all times, as it is these individuals who break the barriers and open the doors for others to follow and go on to achieve even greater things.

Celebrating 100 Plus Sponsors and Honoring Dr. Dunlop, The Inventor Of Air Filled Rubber Tires

We have made an important first milestone in now having over 100 sponsors for the Ikeler4000 Round The World Record Setting Flight! Our own estimates show that it will take over a thousand sponsors to complete the mission, but where there's a will, there's a way, and we're on a roll! We also want to take a moment to honor a fellow veterinarian, Dr. John Dunlop, who invented air-filled rubber tires, the likes of which we all drive on, and land airplanes on, today.

Dunlop tires, a brand name I'm sure you recognize, was a tire making company started by a veterinarian in 1888. Dr. Dunlop thought the cobblestone streets of Scotland were too rough for his son to ride his tricycle on, so he dreamed up a solution that benefits all mankind still today. Cobblestones were put into streets to keep them from becoming muddy and unusable during the colder and wetter seasons of the year. A cobblestone is actually about a foot long, and if you have seen them and walked on them in Europe, you have only touched on one end of the entire stone. They are set vertically to sit deeply into the ground.
Having fashioned a set of nifty tires for his son's trike, Dr. Dunlop went on to develop air-filled rubber tires for automobiles too. Other inventors at the time included Michelin, who's tire company is still going strong, and even Dr. Porsche, who's sports car brand everyone has heard of. The late 1800's were a time of great prosperity and invention, and apparently medical professionals had the free time to join in on the fun.

Veterinary Medicine is a demanding field, and my personal mentor, Dr. Ian Coster, said vets are some of the most intelligent people around, and that a lot of ancillary knowledge goes into becoming a veterinarian. Vets have to solve a truly diverse set of problems every day, so I guess they have to be smart. I'm glad to be one of them! Dunlop tires was bought by Goodyear Tire Company in 1999, but the brand continues. So the next time you are putting air in your tires, remember that it was a veterinarian that came up with the idea first!

Big Cat Rescue Sponsors Ikeler4000

It is our pleasure to have Big Cat Rescue join in our group of sponsors for the Ikeler4000 Round The World Record Setting Flight. Located in Florida, Big Cat Rescue started out as a sanctuary for abandoned exotic cats who people had bought as kittens and thought they would make into unusual pets. As the public soon finds out though, many big cats are not suitable as pets and need to be kept in a sanctuary. This is where Big Cat Rescue comes in to help. They take in these big cats and take care of them and give them a good home.

I have been to South Africa on one of the speaking tours that I did quarterly, around the world, for four years, from 1998 to 2002. During our visit to South Africa, we visited Kruger Park, one of the largest open game preserves still in existence. If not for these large parks in Africa, most of the large animal species would be gone. Big Cat Rescue also provides private ownership of these exotic cats to create a "preserving the species" effort as well. Private "farms" for cheetahs and lions also exist in South Africa for the same purpose of privately preserving these species.

While in South Africa we stayed in a Safari Camp and had monkeys on the roof top of our "Roundavel" that was our cement walled cabin in the camp. We had elephants and lions roaming through our camp and we had to be careful when coming out in the morning not to open the door to face a wild animal at breakfast.

During our first afternoon at the safari camp, my wife then and I went for a stroll down by the river and saw fascinating elephant footprints, lion foot prints, and what must have been wildebeest foot prints. We sauntered along joyously until we got back to the camp and it's owner found out where we had been. After a severe warning, that was also given to our conference group, we knew not to walk along the river again.

At night, the tour guides took us out into the preserve and pointed out, with a spot light, unusual species that you can only see at night. Those were fun times, though a little scary. Especially one time when we came across a group of Rhinos that were being aggressive toward our jeep. They wouldn't let us pass, and they bounced around like they were made of rubber to show us their strength. We just waited them out, and after about fifteen minutes, they moved on.

From my experience with wildlife I know the challenges Big Cat Rescue has ahead of them. We support their efforts and wish them the best in the years to come. You can visit their site and make a donation to support their on going work at http://www.bigcatrescue.com/

Dash For A Cure With CarolAnn Garratt

We are pleased to add CarolAnn Garratt and her web site, Dash For A Cure, to our sponsor list and home page at Ikeler AeroSpace this week. CarolAnn has completed two Round The World Flights and continues to raise money for ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) research. We applaud her mission and accomplishments.

CarolAnn Garratt and Carol M. Foy also established a National Aeronautics Association certified speed record of 115.35 miles per hour and they circumnavigated the globe in eight days, twelve hours, and twenty minutes. CarolAnn had become a member of the earth rounders association after she flew herself solo around the world in 2003. The earth rounders have one simple requirement for membership: You must fly yourself around the globe in a private airplane.

Building further on this first aviation achievement, CarolAnn decided to set higher goals and set a record to bring more attention to the cause of an ALS cure. So far CarolAnn has raised almost a quarter million dollars and still lectures around the United States selling her two books about her trips to bring in more funding.

ALS currently has no cure or treatment, but on going research is bringing us closer to the day when we can say it is treatable. And Thank you CarolAnn Garratt for supporting our mission as we support yours. Our web site traffic will become your web site traffic and will bring more funds to your cause and this cure! We are honored to have you with us.

CarolAnn Garratt appears to the right in the picture above and you can visit her web site at http://www.alsworldflight.com/

Globalization Will Include Space As A New Frontier

The speed of information is now at the speed of light. You may wonder, "Wasn't it always?" Well no, it wasn't, and this ten-fold increase in speed has occurred in the past few decades going almost unnoticed. The speed of data transmission has, until recently, been the speed of the electron, about ten percent of the speed of light. With wireless connections now becoming the standard, we are no longer held back by phone lines, dial-up, and that slow-poke called The Electron.

Now we bond with, and expect, the speed of the photon. At one hundred eighty six thousand miles a second, even cell phone calls to the moon are now practical! There will though be that pesky little delay of one and a half seconds when you are talking to someone on the moon. Very similar to transoceanic phone lines of the past. The delay is noticeable, but it is not a show-stopper. You can still carry on a normal conversation with someone loping across the sea of tranquility.

Aviation technologies will also speed travel to outstanding new speeds. The Concorde travelled at Mach Two. Faster than a speeding bullet. You use to be able to leave London at ten in the morning and arrive in New York at ten in the morning. By clock standards, instantaneously! Super sonic transports will make their reappearance in the 2020's.

The Ikeler4000, and it's larger variations, will be an integral part of the globalization of our economies, cultures, and finances and space. There are great days ahead!

Innovations Of Tomorrow

If you think I'm a little out there with my Ikeler4000 flying car, then consider that Honda has also designed a flying car too. The Honda Fuzo is a concept car that attempts to create a flying car based on VTOL technologies. It is somewhat ill-fated though, in that it is trying to use the wheels as jet engines to thrust the car into the air and then some how drive it on the ground.

I give honda credit though, because they are innovative and are not afraid to step outside the box, as with their robot the Asimo, also shown in this article. This century will see innovations the likes of which were never dreamed of before. Even the world of finance will be re-invented.

How would you like a free car? How about free airfares? How about free hotel stays and free trips. These new models of business can be created using new forms of marketing that allow the consumer to enjoy the product and never have to lay out a penny for it. If you're ready to look around a little, free cars, free airfares, and free hotel rooms already exist.

How would you like free ad space for your business? We have already innovated this idea and made it possible for anyone to get ad space on the Ikeler4000 website and it's Round The World Flight. Priced to fit any budget, we have made it possible for every one to join with us and support the mission and even benefit from doing so. Can you beat that?

The New Aviation Dashboard And Cockpit

Airplanes have long been plagued with a design defect: The dashboard is too big and too high. The height alone presents a danger in collision avoidance and piloting. I am six feet two inches tall and even I have to stretch a little to see over the dashboards of most private airplanes to see where I am going or to see anything in front of the aircraft.

In designing the Ikeler4000, one of the defects I wanted to remove was that of the big and hazardous dashboard. Thus, the glass cockpit you see in the photo. Here, many dials and instruments are converged onto one computer screen that allows tremendously efficient use of the dash. Gone are the multitude of dials and gauges that, although they have allowed us to impress our friends, at being able to pilot and control such a complicated machine, now offer efficient use and an easier one-glance look to get the aircraft information you need.

Time during flight needs to be spent scanning the sky for other traffic and looking at charts for ground references along the flight path. Now these new instruments can add to the safety and efficiency of flight, instead of detracting from it.

Dr. Doug Ikeler http://www.ikeler4000.com/

Ballistic Recovery Systems Take The Fear Out Of Flying

Ballistic Recovery Systems used to be called Ballistic Airframe Parachutes, but the acronym BAPS, most likely drove the manufacturers to rename them. When I designed the Ikeler4000, I knew my clients would want this system as a standard feature in the aircraft. It was an easy decision for me, so it is. For those of you new to airframe parachutes, these systems allow you to deploy a full sized parachute for the airplane, so you can land safely, or at least softly, in any emergency where the airplane or pilot are compromised.
If BRS devices were in all small aircraft, the safety rate for private airplanes would probably make it higher than for cars. Small aircraft are currently as safe as riding a motorcycle. Okay, but for my vehicles, I know we can do a lot better. Commercial Airlines are the safest form of travel per passenger mile and only seem dangerous because when they do crash, many people perish with them as a group. Trains and boats are the next safest form of travel, followed by cars, and then motorcycles and private airplanes.
In this new era of air travel we are creating, danger needs to be dramatically reduced. It can and will be with BRS systems, as well as collision avoidance devices in the cockpit. Being up in the air is safer than being down on the highways, so with a little more technology, safety and fun will rise dramatically.

Earth Rounders Organization

On August 15th, 2009 I had a chance to hear CarolAnn Garrett speak at the Colorado 99s. The 99s are an International Organization of Women Pilots. CarolAnn just completed her second Round The World Flight in her Mooney single engine airplane and set a speed record for the event. The mission of her flight was to raise a million dollars for ALS research and she and Carol Foy called their flight a "Dash For A Cure." The ALS world flight web site can be found at http://www.alsworldflight.com/ You can donate at the site if you are interested in funding research for a cure for Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS).

CarolAnn suggested I also attend the next EarthRounders meeting to be held in Brazil in May of 2010. You can visit their web site at http://www.earthrounders.com/ Hopefully that will be a meeting I can attend as we get closer to our own Ikeler4000 Round The World Record Setting Flight.

Highlights of the meeting included extensive discussion of the preparation needed for the flight, the flight details itself, weather tracking and forecasting, and pictures of the sites seen along the way. CarolAnn also discussed the ground crew she had help her and the medical support they received to avoid health issues like blood clots in their legs from extensive sitting in one position. The meeting was fascinating and CarolAnn took time to meet with me too to answer all my questions. Thank you CarolAnn Garrett and we support you in your efforts to raise one million dollars for ALS research!

The Seven World Records to be set during The Round The World Record Setting Flight

The Round The World Record Setting Flight in the first Ikeler4000 will make aviation history by setting these seven records: 1) First round the world flight by a flying car. 2) First solo round the world flight in a flying car. 3) First American transcontinental flight in a flying car. 4) First transatlantic flight in a flying car. 5) First transeurasian flight in a flying car. 6) First transpacific flight in a flying car and, 7) Fastest Round the world flight in a flying car. Other records and firsts may be set during the flight as well, and new records are being considered for following flights to make the Ikeler4000 the record holder for this category of aircraft. Other flight records currently in consideration are a polar round the world flight, a southern route round the world flight, and a purely speed record round the world flight. It will all be very exciting!

Million Click Mission becomes popular Contest

Although we have just started this contest days ago, the feedback and response have been very positive and supportive. People have suggested too that we incorporate a school writing contest into the effort to encourage young people to participate and spread the word virally through the Internet. We are looking for a million visits to this and our affiliated websites to push funding to our completion of the aircraft and Round The World Record Setting Flight. We are looking to set an Internet record too for most hits to a web site. If you haven't entered already, go to http://www.ikeler4000.blogspot.com/ and post a great comment!

Honoring The Sponsors Of The Round The World Record Setting Flight

We will use this website to honor and recognize the sponsors of the Ikeler4000 Round The World Record Setting Flight. The first sponsor is the Life Extension Books published by Dr. Doug Ikeler. Revenues from this book are use to continue the development and completion of the Ikeler4000. The aircraft is approximately two-thirds complete and can be finished within six months of full funding. Dr. Ikeler has funded the project entirely on his own up to this point and would have completed it in 2007 if the sagging economy hadn't reduced his investment dollars in the same way many Americans have been affected by loss of real estate values and stocks.

The book Life Extension provides easy to use techniques to slow your metabolism and allow you to live decades longer. We all want to live longer, and we want to do so in a state of medication-free health. This book provides all the information needed to live this kind of healthy lifestyle. We live in the Twenty First Century! Gone are the days of needless medical suffering and ill health. We have the technology! Let's all start using it, as there is no better place to reduce health care costs in America than by making our citizens more healthy!

You can purchase your copy of Life Extension by going to http://www.ikelerbooks.com/

Seven World Records Flight Gets Media Attention!

Hub pages journalist Yvonne Ashmore captures the spirit of The Ikeler4000 Round The World Record Setting Flight in her article on HubPages at www.hubpages.com/hub/ikeler4000flyingcar Yvonne uses the pen name "newsworthy" and looks for topics that truly are fit to be in the news! We Thank Yvonne for accurately depicting the progress of the Ikeler4000 team in working towards completing it's goal and setting Seven new world records for the pages of aviation history. We appreciate her ongoing interest in seeing the mission succeed by also welcoming her to promote our Ad Space sales on the vehicle and website. These advertisers and sponsors are the financial force that will bring this project to completion and open a new industry for personal travel by people around the world.

Early plans are also being made to lobby congress to add takeoff and landing lanes beside the highway roads on the edge of every city and town in America. The United States already has over 5400 airstrips and airways, and this existing infrastructure will make early adaptation for use of the Ikeler4000 a breeze. Other technologies like NASA's "Highway In The Sky" navigation system and Global Positioning are amazing technologies that are hardly used by current users of aviation and are as powerful as the internet for bringing worldwide travel to the average person. There are exciting days ahead and we Thank everyone supporting us on this mission!

A Time To Remember

Walter Cronkite passed away yesterday and it reminded me of his era of news reporting. In his day, the news media looked for important news. He admitted there was some sensationalism even then, but the news was meant to deliver intelligent topics to the people. Topics and stories from around the world that supported our democracy and our American leadership upon our planet. He acknowledged the current trend is more about people's bank accounts and celebrity suffering. Stuff of the tabloids forty years ago, but mainstream media today.
Cronkite's message left me with a feeling of thanks. An attitude of gratitude that I too had lived through the greatest years of the twentieth century. The Kennedy years and man landing on the moon. Those were years of great social and technological triumph. Times when the thought of flying cars and robot servants seemed reasonably close. Years the likes of which we will probably never see again. So I appreciate that I lived through those years and heard from men like Walter Cronkite. Men of the highest standards, whose goals were those of societal progression and not just personal gain. Men whose achievements will stand out forever in our recorded history. Men who we should aspire to be like again.
Today I want to thank our sponsors and advertisers, as their revenues are what is driving the Ikeler4000 forward to it's completion and it's Round The World Record Setting Flight. Those will be days worth living in and they are coming soon!

When All Men Know The Sky, They Will Take Us To The Stars!

I have often pondered the profound effect that the IKELER4000 flying car technology will bring to society. It will increase our speed of travel and it will give businessmen a true advantage for conducting business faster by being able to go point to point in their conduct of commerce. In many instances we will travel faster than by commercial jets.
The other effect on society will be that this vehicle will inspire a new generation to look to the sky and the stars and dream some bigger dreams. Young people will know the sky and they will want to go farther to the other planets and to other solar systems. This societal inspiration filled my life as a boy when America landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Effectively on my birthday of July 21, 1969. I spent my whole eleventh birthday watching Neil Armstrong walk on the lunar surface and collect soil samples and tell of the magnificence of his experience. Those are the kind of inspirations I would like my children to have and our nation to feel once again.
So, in making this Round The World flight, I will be inspiring the world to dream bigger once again, and reassurring everyone that the future is bright. We have the most wonderful days to look forward to, because......
