Milner Motors AirCar
The patented Milner AirCar will be a completely self-contained four-door, four to five-seat advanced-composite road-able aircraft (flying car) with foldable main wing in the rear of the vehicle and a canard in the front.
In ground mode, the Milner AirCar will operate as an automobile and be about the same size as the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. A separate 40hp engine and transmission will power the wheels on the ground.
The non-retractable wheels extend from the 54” wide fuselage. The front wheels have double a-arm suspension, and the rear wheels are located in the wing just inboard of the first wing fold. When changing to air mode, the rear wheels will pivot forward so less weight is carried by the front wheels and the vehicle has additional ground clearance. At the same time, the front wheels will pivot downward to keep the vehicle level.
DARcorporation is proud to be involved with the research, design and analysis of this exciting flying car!
Jim Milner founded Milner Motors in 2005 to develop innovative transportation solutions. Based in Vancouver, Washington and Bethesda, Maryland, we believe that a truly clean-sheet approach to vehicle design can produce commercially viable vehicles that respond to today's environmental and energy needs in a way never before possible.
Excerpt from Discovery Channel NextWorld: Future Metro (June 1, 2009)The DARcorporation Advantage
Experience in the design, detailed analysis and building of prototypes gives DARcorporation a unique advantage over other companies, since we can go from initial design all the way through full size manufacturing. The unique tools we developed for design and analysis make DARcorporation the best choice for any new or existing aeronautical project. DARcorporation engineers can advise on what the best materials are for your design and what the best configuration is. We will work with you to design and optimize your aircraft for performance, manufacturability and cost.
