Theodore P. Hall, chief development engineer of Convair, designed flying automobile in which wing, tail and l90hp Lycoming were all attached on top of specially designed 4-seat saloon car. Convair funded development of proposed ConvAircar, flown successfully November 1947, but wrecked on third flight after taking off without refuelling.
