Aerocar International's Aerocar (often called the Taylor Aerocar) is an American "roadable" aircraft, designed and built by Moulton Taylor in Longview, Washington, in 1949. It is the most successful and probably the most famous "flying car" design to date. Although six examples were built, the Aerocar never entered production. There is also a short Aerocar newsreel in English

Aerocars can drive up to 60 miles per hour and have a top airspeed of 110 miles per hour. Civil certification was gained in 1956, 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 only find half that number of buyers, plans for production ended, and only six examples were built, with one still flying as of 2006. The Aerocar is a two-place aircraft with side-by-side seating, four wheels, high, unobtrusive wings, and a single Lycoming 0-320 engine mounted over the rear wheels. The propeller is mounted at the end of a long tail cone, and the latter is angled up considerably, to provide adequate propeller clearance. It initially sold for $25,000. Conversion from air to road can be achieved by one person in five minutes. The detached aircraft components can be towed behind the car in folding wheels fitted to the wing roots. The six Aerocars so far built accumulated over 200,000 road miles and 5,000 flight hours.
