Aerocar International

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aerocar International was a firm established in Longview, Washington by Moulton Taylor to manufacture a roadable aircraft. Work continued until the late 1960s when changing legislation made Taylor's designs impractical.

Designs built by Taylor include:

  • Aerocar (1949-1956), several working "flying cars" (roadable aircraft)
  • Aerocar Aero-Plane, an unusual light aircraft flown in the United States in 1964
  • Aerocar Coot, a two-seat amphibious aircraft first flown in 1969, designed for homebuilding by Moulton Taylor
  • Aerocar Micro-IMP, a light sportsplane developed from the successful Mini-IMP homebuilt in 1978
