Who invented the first successful flying car and when?

The first successful flying car, known as the “Aerocar,” was invented by Moulton Taylor, an American inventor, in 1949. The Aerocar was a combination of a small aircraft and a car, designed to function as both an automobile for land travel and a plane for flying. Taylor’s invention received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), though it never became commercially available. The concept of a flying car has inspired numerous subsequent prototypes, with ongoing advancements in the field of personal aerial transportation.
