Jess Dixon Flying Car

Jess Dixon (1886-1963) of Andalusia, Alabama, USA got tired of being stuck in traffic, so he designed and built this flying vehicle in 1936. It is a combination of automobile, helicopter and motorcycle.

It has two large lifting rotors in a single head revolving in opposite directions. It is powered by a 40 HP engine which is aircooled. According to Dixon it is capable of a top speed of 100 mph. The vehicle was designed to allow for the transfer of engine power from the rotor blades to the wheels.
