To fly this car, a flight module is attached. In its flight mode, the AEROCAR 2000 is a high wing airplane with conventional rudder and elevator. The flight engine operates a three-blade MT electric constant-speed propeller, which is positioned just above the car’s windshield. A drive shaft and gearbox connect between the V8 flight engine and the propeller. The engine’s position is above and behind the pilot and passenger. This arrangement minimizes aerodynamic drag for the aircraft and the propeller is safely up and out of harm’s way. The flight module includes the wings, tail, empenage, engine and propelle
