The Dream That Has Persisted For 100 Years



  • In 1892 Henry Ford started building his first experimental automobile.
  • In 1903 the Wright brothers first flew their self-powered aircraft.
  • In 1918 the first patent for a flying car was issued to a Mr. Felix Longobardi.
  • In 1919 Glenn Curtiss' Autoplane made a very short flight.


Because flying cars and roadable aircraft seem to be more of a dream than a reality, many people believe that these things do not exist. The truth is that almost from the moment the Wright Brothers learned to fly, people have been attempting to build such vehicles. Some of them have had a fair degree of success.

Roadable Times is devoted to recording the successes, the failures, and the many designs that creative people have developed in the effort to build the ultimate man-made machine, the flying car. For these reports, where related websites are available, links to those sites are provided. It is the goal of the editors to present a record that is as complete as possible.
