	Aerocar Aerocar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aerocar Aerocar was a US roadable aircraft, designed and built by Moulton Taylor in 1949.
		It is the most successful and probably the most famous "flying car" design to date, convertible into flight mode in five minutes by attaching a pusher propeller and wings.
		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.

		The Aerocar, developed by aviation engineer Glenn Curtiss was the first aerodynamic trailer.
		It "featured rounded edges and a goosenecked section fitting over the trunk of the towcar." By streamlining the Aerocar, Curtiss shifted his allegiance to the car, from conventional notions of camping (the tent, or the cart).
		Such technophilia found its expression in Curtis' Aerocar, the Airstream Trailer and most recently the Caravan.
