The FSC-1 is claimed to be the first known vehicle capable of automatic conversion from aircraft to car at the touch of a button.
Numerous safety systems and fail safes are also employed on the FSC-1, such as a recovery parachute.
The LaBiche FSC-1 was introduced as a roadable aircraft (flying car) to fulfill the needs of a personal vehicle that is capable of "true" high-speed, "door-to-door" travel, utilizing current automotive and aviation infrastructure.
This painful challenge stirred the designer to come up with a modern, flexible, and practical vehicle capable of true "door-to-door" travel.
After several years of research, market analysis, and customer surveys, the requirements for the FSC-1 were developed.
