Airplane Car - The Milner AirCar (GALLERY)

Enter the new fly-drive option for the adventurer - the Milner AirCar is both a airplane and a car blended into a curvaceous smooth finish; in the air it cruises at 200mph and upto 25,000 feet, while on the ground in a chassis not much bigger than your average saloon (after the 28ft wide wings have been folded away) hits speeds of 85mph on the open road.

The diesel powered AirCar is the brainchild of designers Milner Motors of Vancouver, Canada and have succeeded in producing a viable flying car, with the driver both flying and driving the AirCar using the easy-to-use car steering wheel and a two panel flat dashboard. With a range of 1,000 miles the $450,000 prototype will be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show (March 21st-30th)

Chris and James Milner, the father-son design team believe the AirCar to be a commercially viable vehicle design and offer a new aspect to environmentally friendly flying and driving.

Slightly worrying, is that rumours insist they are still working on the ‘flying’ aspect of the Milner AirCar, so you may have to wait just a little longer before you ease into the Captain’s uniform.
