Taylor Aerocar (1949)
One of the best-known flying cars even though it surfaced decades ago, Moulton Taylor (1912-1995) hoped to put his Aerocar into full-scale production. It came pretty close too, with five airworthy examples produced before the project fell apart.

AVE Mizar (1971)
Why start from scratch when you can just take a mediocre product from Ford's model range and clip some wings to it? And so the Advanced Vehicle Engineers (AVE) Mizar was born; a Ford Pinto with the key parts of a Cessna Skymaster attached. The car did fly – for a while. But then the key people behind the project were all killed when their Mizar fell from the sky, and that was that.

Moller Sky Car M400
Paul Moller (born 1936) has been trying for more than half a century to come up with a viable flying car. The Sky Car M400 is his latest confection although it's been doing the rounds since the mid-1990s. Not just an aircraft, the M400 is a VTOL, or Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft, so it doesn't need a runway.

Predominantly an aircraft, the M400 can be driven on the road too, as it's narrow enough (under 8.5 feet) to comply with US regulations. The one M400 made was put up for sale on eBay in 2017, but it failed to sell.

"Almost looks like the design from 'Wacky Races', a cartoon TV series of the 70's in the UK, with 'Dick Dasterdly and Mutley'. The car shape, for those that remember..."
