Aerocar 2000

The Aerocar 2000 was a proposed flying car under development in the early 2000s in the United States.

[3] The Aerocar 2000 consisted of a removable wings, tail, and powerplant "flight module" added to a modified Lotus Elise roadster.

[4] In conception, this was far closer to the AVE Mizar of the early 1970s than to Taylor's designs, the vehicle portions of which were purpose-designed and built.

Another difference with the original Aerocar (and similarity to the Mizar) is that the flight module is not designed to be taken away from the airfield.

A far lighter three-cylinder engine and gearbox from a Chevrolet Sprint is to be installed in the road module to power the vehicle on the ground.
