The worlds first flying car which was developed by Moulton Taylor in the 1940s has been priced at nearly at 1M$ by the high flying enthusiasts who are into a bidding war. The 1st ever aerocar could not just fly but also vroom on the roads. It has fold-able wings that can clip itself in to adjust to 'street view'. The collectors are battling for for the startling piece of engineering history which can still fly-high at 110mph. This 21 feet aerocar is 2 place aircraft with side-by-side seating, 4 wheels , 30ft wingspan and a single lycoming 0-320 engine. The aerocar was set to take the world by storm but after almost 25 years it couldnt strike a deal. Along with the prototype only 4 others were built and now collectors are battling to own this invention.
It was the peak of the 20th century inventions and was close to take the world's imagination by storm. There really was nothing like it at the time and the design attracted so much attention. It was on the front page of TVs , Newspapers , Journals and magazines. Its popularity was unprecedented. Lack of business investment led to the interest fizzling away . To this date there is nothing like it
