"VERTICAL TAKE-OFF & LANDING" designs included here are essentially aircraft and hovercraft about the size of
an automobile. With the exception of the Avrocar, these vehicles have a width of eight and one-half feet or less,
which is the maximum allowable road width for an automobile. Most are not designs of true flying cars. This is so
because when used on land, most of them anticipate the use of thrusters rather than motorized wheels. They are included
here, partly in deference to the "Moller Skycar", which after some 30 years of development and promotion, is probably
the world's most famous "flying car", and also for the potential they offer in the future development of a truly
successful dual-purpose vehicle.
