Flying Cars?

The Milner Flying Car:

Will It Get Off the Ground?

by Bill Howard

If auto shows are about dreams, then the Milner AirCar fits right in.

Tucked away in the back basement of the Javits Convention Center with the trucks and SUVs at the New York International Auto Show was the latest iteration in a long line of dreams: the flying car.

This one is from Milner Motors: It's a narrow body car with a folding wing and a pair of 150-hp pusher fans in back. As co-founder James Milner describes it, "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."
