Aerocar International's Aerocar (often called the Taylor Aerocar) was
an American roadable aircraft, designed and built by Moulton Taylor in
Longview, Washington, in 1949. Although six examples were built, the
Aerocar never entered production.

60 miles per hour and have a
top airspeed of 110 miles per hour.

Civil certification was gained in 1956 under the auspices of the Civil
Aeronautics Administration (CAA), and Taylor reached a deal with
Ling-Temco-Vought for serial production on the proviso that he was
able to attract 500 orders. When he was able to find only half that
number of buyers, plans for production ended, and only six examples
were built, with one still flying as of 2008 and another rebuilt by
Taylor into the only Aerocar III. In 2013, the Disney film, Planes
honored the design with a character based on the aerocar, Franz aka
Fliegenhosen.



Flying cars always suffer from the same
defect - they make lousy cars, and they make
mediocre airplanes. The compromises required
for "transition" dooms them to underwhelming
performance in each. But when transition is
needed there is nothing like them............



....just one word..."levitation"

....discover it

....practice it
