“Designers of a strap-on aircraft will sell their prototype in an online auction expected to exceed $1 million. The SoloTrek XFV, which made its maiden flight in December 2001, will debut Friday on eBay with a starting bid of about $50,000, said Michael Moshier, chief executive of defense contractor Trek Aerospace. The prototype can hover at speeds up to 69 mph for 100 miles, carrying a person who weighs up to 180 lbs. Two overhead engines lift the gas-powered machine, and a standing operator steers with a joystick in each hand.”
