Molt Taylor of Longview, Washington tried for decades to get his beloved Aerocar flying car into production. Ultimately only 6 of them were produced. Power came from a Model 0-320 Lycoming aircraft engine of 143 HP.
Американец Молтон Тейлор (Moulton Taylor) долго мечтал о разработке "шоссейного самолета" - аппарата, который мог бы использоваться как автомобиль и как самолет (за счет быстро прикрепляемых крыльев, хвостового оперения и винта). Вскоре после окончания Второй мировой войны Тейлор основал компанию, которая начала воплощать эту мечту в реальность. Позже, в 1949г., его образец воздушного автомобиля Аэрокар совершил первый полет, а 13 декабря 1956г. улучшенный предсерийный Аэрокар I добился сертификата Федерального авиационного управления. Четыре дополнительные модели были построены для демонстрации и продажи, и все эти шесть аппаратов набрали более 200000 миль пробега по земле и более 5000 часов налета.

Вряд ли будет ошибкой заявление, что "Аэрокар" Молтона Тейлора является самой известной из представителей описываемого класса летающих машин. Хотя Тейлор сам был продолжателем дела, многие считают себя именно его последователями.


One of the few flying cars to be certified for commercial production by the government was the Aerocar. The plane was directly inspired from the Airphibian, after designer Moulton Taylor met Robert Fulton. The Aerocar's cockpit detached from the tail and wings, and could be packed up and dragged in a trailer. The Aerocar failed to be a commercial success, although Taylor did sell one model to then-television celebrity Bob Cummings.
