The Airphibian was the first flying car certified by aviation authorities in 1950. Designed by Robert Fulton Jr., it featured detachable wings, removable propellers, and a modular design that converted from aircraft to automobile in under 7 minutes.

With a top speed of 120 mph in flight and 50 mph on roads, it proved the concept was viable decades ago. Four prototypes were built before financial challenges ended production in 1953.

One prototype is preserved at the Smithsonian Institution. Watch until the end to see why flying cars never took off.
