Actually, it really doesn't fly at all badly (for a car). In fact, in many respects the performance is comporable with many other two-seaters from the 1950s (although it does have 148hp). I flew it three times and even took it cross-country. However, I don't think I'd like to drive it any distance - the brakes (rear wheels only) aren't up to much. I wasn't surprised to learn that although no AEROCAR has even been involved in a flying accident, they've had several prangs on the road!
