Moller International (fka MLER)

I assume that you're asking why the planned flight demonstration in October 2011 was cancelled?

The officially stated reason (I'm not making this up) is that they were concerned that there were going to be so many people coming to see the demonstration that there wouldn't be suitable facilities to accommodate them. The demonstration was thus indefinitely postponed while a more suitable site for the demonstration was sorted out. (A bunch of sponsorship opportunities were also identified in the same press release).

No further demonstrations have subsequently occurred. Two years ago, Moller International tried to sell the Skycar prototype on ebay and highlighted that it was still in the configuration that it was in when it flew in 2003. These two facts make it pretty clear that the planned demonstration in 2011 was a sham, probably to attract investment.
