Aerocar Aero-Plane

Aerocar Aero-Plane

__NOTOC__

The Aerocar II Aero-Plane was an unusual light aircraft flown in the United States in 1964. It was a development of designer Moulton Taylor's famous Aerocar roadable aircraft, but was not roadable itself. Rather, it used the wings and tail unit designed for the Aerocar and mated them to a new fibreglass cabin. The weight saved by not including the parts needed to make the vehicle driveable on the ground meant that an additional two passengers could be carried. Only a single example was built.
