Interview with Aptera CEO

Filed under: , , , ,

AutoblogGreen has had our share of stories on Aptera and the company’s upcoming 300 mph space-like vehicle. But we understand that more data is just a go away for everyone, and so we thought you’d like to know about an interview Gizmag posted with the Aptera Co-Founder & CEO, Steve Fambro (AutoblogGreen spoke with Fambro in October). ABG reader Sayyad pointed that out for us, and says it “is worth the read, and makes a lot more sense than Aptera’s website.” He’s not kidding about the website. The last instance I went to Aptera’s site, I about poked my eyes out.

Anyway, there’s a lot of interesting stuff in the interview. I like the way Fambro explains why he got excited to build

his own high-mpg car company in the first place: it was when he saw SpaceShipOne.

I was amazed that twenty citizens in three years could develop a spacecraft, the aircraft to carry it up at altitude, experiment it and put it on the edge of space. whether twenty public can do that next surely three or four folks can build that car and take it to some style of completion ready for manufacture.

There’s more at Gizmag.
