The AeroCar was probably the best of the flying cars. I saw a Modern
Marvels segment about flying cars last night. Being a former military
pilot I always like things about flying. While I have never flown an
AeroCar, I would have liked to own 1. Essentially, it is really a plane
that you can park at home and drive to the airport. I certainly would
not want to put it on American (or anyone else's) roads. It was a good
idea and reasonably practical, but not marketable. The segment also
included the Chrysler turbine driven car. That I actually got a chance
to drive at the Worlds Fair.
